Lone Light Coffee

In designing this popular coffee shop on Charlottesville's historic Downtown Mall, we faced the challenge of creating multiple unique areas within a small space. The resulting design creates an inviting hangout spot with multiple distinct areas all within a unified concept.

The Bar

A small bar height area offers quick, casual seating while the lighter wood contrasts the mahogany counters.

Built-in Seating

A row of built-in seating offers a warm, cozy area to chat, work, and hang out.

Lounge Area

A lounge area by the full height front windows creates a more casual, open seating space for larger groups.

All Within A Unified Concept

A bold accent color, in conjunction with acoustic wood paneling, ties both halves of the space together while maintaining each side's unique characteristics.
