Coffee houses have quickly become the public spaces of the new millennium. Transcending today’s drive-through culture, coffee houses have become more than destination cafés, they’ve also taken on the role of communal living room and office space. When designing an environment for Inman Perk’s second location, ai3 chose to celebrate this multiplicity, creating a space that would allow all three personalities to thrive within this popular intown Atlanta coffee house.

Variations in seating and finishes provide Inman Perk with an ability to function as a series of rooms in one. Thanks to this stylish diversity, Inman Perk transitions from day to night with seamless energy. Café style seating blends with comfortably upholstered sofas and chairs, creating dual atmospheres, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or meeting friends for a glass of wine. A series of rectangular planes delineate individual space, including a wood canopy suspended above a sofa and chairs. This subtle variation lends intimacy to this would-be living room, conference room, or lounge.
