State Life Café & Canteen

Building 01 · A civic pause

The project, in context.

An everyday place for coffee, conversation and a change of pace. The proposal gives café and canteen a shared identity through a coloured frontage, clear ordering points and a shaded courtyard. Existing-site photographs sit beside the design visualisations so the starting point remains visible.

Explore each view below. Photography, design visualisations and archive studies are identified by their labels.
