Espresso Bar – Coffee Roasters «DOPE ROASTING CO», Athens

DOPE Roasting Co. is an espresso bar & coffee roasting, with an in-house bakery housed in a 19th century neoclassical building located in the center of Athens.
The building’s history, the character of the area, the morphology of the urban fabric, the atmosphere, and the aesthetics that the owners wanted, in addition to modern needs and the modern way of life composed the project’s design axes that were followed throughout the study of a space with a multifaceted character, harmonized with the present but with a clear and linear connection to the building’s past.
The colour palette, the selected patterns, the geometries that were followed, the rough surfaces of the building’s walls that were preserved in combination with timeless materials such as marble, wood, metal, cement, enameled tiles, and reinforced glass created a hybrid set faithful to the original design directions.
