For Buns From Home’s second location we explored ways to experience home away from home. The goal was to create a soft quasi-residential interior to announce the expansion of Notting Hill’s favorite bakery.
The atmospheric qualities of the space are greatly dependent on the finishes utilized. The color palette is varied but coordinated, a mix of soft beiges and whites. Limewash paint was used to finish the walls, ceiling and even the front counter, giving the space a granular and rustic appearance. The floor is a vanilla-colored Marmauleom, a natural alternative to Vinyl.
The layout was a challenge given the space’s narrow and elongated plan. Two working counters of differing depths give enough room to cook the baked goods in the back of the unit. The front counter segments the room in half, giving visitors the chance to see the chef working before they make their choice.
