WhAT WE DID

Working with the village developer, we created a family-friendly café concept from the ground up. From concept design and branding through to consent, procurement and execution, we delivered a warm, community-driven hospitality space.

 

Location: Hamilton Central

Date: august 2019

Archies was designed as a cornerstone café for the growing Borman Village community, delivered through full concept design and build. We collaborated with the developer to establish a family-friendly identity before shaping the interior layout, material palette and branding to support that vision. Craftsmanship and detail were central to the project, with thoughtful joinery, durable finishes and a warm, welcoming colour scheme tailored to local neighbourhood living. The result is a community hub that feels personal and thoughtfully crafted.
