When I open them, most of the books have the smell of an earlier time leaking out between the pages – a special odor of the knowledge and emotions that for ages have been calmly resting between the covers. Breathing it in, I glance through a few pages before returning each book to its shelf.
– Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
Spotting, nurturing, celebrating the life that grows in between unlikely cracks with this adaptive reuse of a wood framed industrial space. The large space supports coffee roasting, coffee service, food production, and outdoor dining. Boor Projects labored on countless thoughtful details woven through the entire project and collaborated with an amazing group of fabricators and artisans from LA and the Bay Area to make them real. The whole experience is grounded and invigorated by concrete floor stained with a vibrate red, a custom color that took many attempts to get just right.
At the end of a long haul this space opened for business and has quickly had to re-tool to meet the demands of a population who need food provided with safe social distance.
