- Integrating, Streamlining & Promoting the online activity of our E-Commerce Website, we aim to create a 'Walk-through-Website' experience giving a new lease of life to all our digital content.
How do we achieve all this?
Well, we can take all of the above ingredients and create an irresistible blend Heritage & Innovation in a space that allows us to grow organically. We have tried to create a flow running through the building that allows us to follow the process, from green beans entering at Southern door, past exhibits of roasting and tea blending paraphernalia, offices, workshops and production areas surrounding a central restored Hall Cafe area; we've done this by removing floating partition walls and suspended ceiling to reveal the original vaulted roof, complete with exposed service ducting in a post-industrial style that reflects the Work-in-Progress nature of the whole visitor experience.
This leads through a spruced-up alleyway exit into the existing Roastery at the rear of the shop to witness the alchemy of the Roast and finally into the shop itself with all its authenticity, possibly the finest gift shop any Visitor Attraction could possibly wish for! The whole exterior would be tied together by signage and branded livery to create a block along China St., befitting its ambition to represent a flagship cultural enterprise in the heart of the city.
