Matcha Made

Matcha Made's first location - a kiosk in the Trafford Centre's Orient, built within an existing framework on a refit budget.

The brief was to transform an existing kiosk unit into a distinctive, high-presence retail offer for a new matcha-focused brand. Budget was concentrated on what would read hardest: the exterior fascia, signage, and customer-facing counter.

The existing structural framework was retained and overclad throughout with bespoke fire-rated 2-pac lacquered panels, rounded arch detailing and fluted MDF fascia boards in the brand's sage green. The existing Corian counter was retained and refaced. LED strip lighting traces the counter base and arch reveals, giving the unit strong visual presence in a busy thoroughfare.

Inside, the servery was redesigned around the brand's offer - matcha on tap via twin branded dispensers, espresso machine, soft-serve and a glazed pastry display.
