KANSAS CITY MESSENGER COFFEE CO. KANSAS CITY Studio BBA was hired as the design architect for this Kansas City coffee company’s first brick and mortar location, which will house a café, roastery, offices and storage, as well as their sister company, Ibis Bakery. The 3-story building is part of an urban revitalization taking place in the nearby Crossroads District, soon be more closely linked to already-vibrant parts of town via the new KC Downtown Streetcar . Customers get a lively, full view of café service and bakery production at street level, entering into a large open community space that puts process on display. A new 3-story, skylit stair inspires upward exploration to Messenger’s roastery and additional café space, and to the public access roof deck. The third floor functions as space for offices, quality control and an incubator for the coffee and bread creation process. The client is a young, design-minded family who want the materials to set a spunky vibe, with clever interjections throughout. The project will be implemented from Design Development through Construction Administration by the client’s local architect. Back to Projects page Client Messenger Coffee Co.

SAN FRANCISCO 1275 MISSION TI SAN FRANCISCO The building owner at 1275 Mission sought us out for our experience working with numerous design-savvy tenants (including Clever HQ just down the block.) They trusted us to create an office interior with its own voice and presence, while leaving room for the future tenant’s personality and culture. Part of this building’s history is somewhat of a mystery, with rumors of a speakeasy and other possibly dubious uses, which lent the project a level of fascination and intrigue. On the factual side, we do know that it served as various offices to support forms of technology (tools, sewing machines, early computers), so it seems fitting that a tech company might call it home. All this mystery inspired us to reveal only selective glimpses of the building’s original brick, concrete and wood. Unexpected discoveries during construction were spontaneously kept to underscore this idea, including a ghosted imprint of the old roof stair in the open workstation area. Black, white and gray surfaces add a sophisticated contrast to these exposed moments on the main and top floors, and provide a neutral backdrop for the new tenant’s brand palette. On the lower level we used a patterned layer of gray stucco to enliven the lounge area. And the former basement access from the sidewalk, referred to by the client as the “speakeasy stair”? …that space has been preserved in a secret cabinet for the new tenants to ponder over during happy hour.

RENO THE JESSE HOTEL & BAR RENO Hospitality powerhouse and entrepreneur, Piper Stremmel, moved from San Francisco back to her hometown of Reno to build her first hotel. After spending many mornings at her former neighborhood coffee shop, Sightglass on 20th , Piper enlisted Studio BBA to be her remote concept-driven design team. The opportunity to transform this building, built in 1907 as the 14-room Royal Hotel & Bar catering to transients and divorcees, inspired the program for The Jesse: a boutique 6-room hotel, bar and restaurant. The gut-and-redo renovation resulted in a shining independent hotel and bar focused on comfort, approachability, design, and the authentic Nevada experience. BBA envisioned a Master Plan that reoriented the site; the central courtyard now serves as the main hub of the complex. Guests enter through a new main gate into the brick-paved patio with furnishings inspired by the colors of Reno’s changing seasons. An existing trellis overgrown with lush wisteria vines greets bar-goers, hotel guests and restaurant diners alike. The striking geometry of the brick building against the desert sky inferred the extension of strong architectural forms, reminiscent of Josef Albers’ form and color work, “Homage to the Square.” The ground floor bar is a refined and playful oasis – directly contrasting the vibrant and weathered surrounding neighborhood. The colorful terrazzo bar, sunny ceramic tile backsplash and subtle beadboard wainscot reinforce our color story and serve as the glowing backdrop to the furnishings, also selected by BBA to honor Nevada-local craft. Custom plywood beds anchor each unique guest room, accented by modish furnishings and inventive, American-made lighting. Every guest room is also an art gallery, featuring beautiful works from The Stremmel Gallery. Guest bathrooms are dialed-in to provide a calm, luxurious setting. Across the courtyard lives a new fast-casual Mexican restaurant, Estella Tacos y Mezcal. Built into a standalone structure historically used as a blacksmith and wagon shop, the new use maximizes daylight and uniquely tall ceilings. An intentional departure from the “wild west” aesthetic you might find in developing Reno, the Taco Shop features a subdued palette of neutral tiles in various shapes and orientations. Patrons are received by a surprising pop of egg-yolk-yellow in the newly expressed gable ceiling. The Jesse is an artful merger of BBA’s project diversity, spanning from single-family homes to food and beverage spaces and commercial office environments. Studio BBA worked closely with the client, contractor, and local structural engineer of record to design the first hotel in their portfolio.

SAN FRANCISCO TROU NORMAND SAN FRANCISCO Trou Normand is a bar, butchery and a restaurant in one. Moody and romantic, yet rough around the edges, it’s the second endeavor of SF’s venerable Bar Agricole team. The Trou Normand vision merges the ideals of an early 19th century Boothby -inspired cocktail with a distinctively modern meat program. A modern riff on the beauty of Art Deco, the design employs distilled details with bold commentary. We kept the brick and concrete bones of the building, and layered on wood and leather design elements to set the tone for the comfortable, inviting nature of the establishment. We began our design process with a thorough study and conceptual analysis of period art, entertainment and interpretations, which led us to a robust, integral, sensory materials palette. The space is on the ground floor of an iconic Art Deco high-rise in downtown San Francisco designed by Timothy Pflueger , which is undergoing a complete interior remodel (including our design for Lumosity ’s office on an upper floor). The space extends outside to a patio with new steel and glass trellis, providing shelter from the rain and a clear view of the historic building towering above.

SAN FRANCISCO CHOCOLATE SHOP SAN FRANCISCO A Japanese chocolate company sought out BBA to design a flagship for their expansion to America’s West Coast. As their company focuses on carefully crafted, high-quality natural products, they came to us for our aligned values, retail design expertise and our experience creating successful food and drink destinations. We collaborated with the chocolatier’s international team to develop two concepts: retail only, and retail plus production. The latter embodies their ‘bean-to-bar’ philosophy—to house the entire chocolate-making process in-house—by integrating a state-of-the-art factory with a customer experience component for production viewing, alongside café, retail and workshop spaces. Our design approach blended Japanese precision with California humanism and warmth to create an environment that encourages customers to linger and learn about the artisanal chocolate-making process.
