Victoria University sought an extension to their main library; a communal cafeteria space inviting student and teacher exchanges, informal meetings and collaborative learning.
Located at the heart of Victoria University, the Reading Room Cafe provides a high-quality hospitality presence in an area flooded with fast-food options and take-away stores. The fit-out features custom tables and an espresso bench with brass trims and insets. Card filing drawers and old typewriters infuse elements of yesterday’s quaint library atmosphere. Floor to ceiling timber shelves break up the interior space, while carefully detailed joinery embraces the traditional library aesthetic.
