DOT Coffee Station

CONCEPT:

A third-wave urban coffee shop located in the heart of Kyiv. An open-format space with no traditional doors — only sliding glass panels that allow the energy of the city to circulate freely. Inside, a vibrant “coffee lab” pulses with specialty coffee culture and efficient service.

BAR EXPERIENCE:

In the DOT project, we proved that thoughtful planning can turn a compact footprint into a highly functional venue. Within just 32 m², we created a central bar station that became the core of the space — integrating coffee equipment, a matcha zone, and a pastry section.

A restroom and several seating spots were seamlessly embedded into the layout to avoid disrupting the workflow while preserving the clean, modern design language of the venue.

DNA of the bar:

  • Compact
  • Contemporary
  • Clever
