A bright and welcoming communal space at the entry of the Eminence.
The Eminence Café is located at the entry/lobby to The Eminence building. Its design compliments the communal spaces distributed throughout the building with a fully public accessible hospitality zone.
The Eminence Café is conceived as an extension of the foyer providing an informal space for building users to meet at street level. The design features light, natural materials that extend the palette used on the ground floor façade. A distinctive curved ceiling adds softness and delineates the café space from the entry. The space is contained by a rhythm of windows to McLachlan Street and acts as a refuge from this busy street beyond.
