Little Owl Coffee conquers the challenge of designing a space where key elements were strictly hands off. The pieces already in place were a floor-to-ceiling Calcutta marble wall, along with a wood ceiling, a wall of windows with outside access and tile floor. The main counter remained strictly white, as over articulation would have garbled the senses in a place that strives to be as pure as possible. The counter extends and turns, rising into a matching Brazilian mahogany counter space.

Every square inch is defined by necessity, and the design seamlessly houses all plumbing and electrical on the south white glass backsplash wall. The small space sings with perfect details like tiny succulents and raw sugar near each seat.
