Embracing Tradition in Carlton

Situated in Carlton, Australia, Good Measure Café, designed by We Are Humble, finds its place amidst the rich tapestry of old and new on an iconic street. Housed within a building with a storied past, Good Measure now occupies the former home of Bosari Cycles, a fixture on Lygon St for over 80 years.

A Venue for All Occasions

Good Measure Café is more than just a coffee shop; it’s a space that seamlessly transitions from day to night, catering to a diverse range of experiences. Upon approaching the café, patrons are greeted by an inviting, high-ceilinged area bathed in natural light, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee. As the day progresses, the atmosphere shifts to a more intimate setting around the bar, where patrons can unwind with a cocktail in hand.

Dynamic Design for Versatility

The café’s interior design plays a pivotal role in creating distinct yet interconnected spaces within a single room. The use of the ceiling to manipulate light helps delineate these areas, offering patrons a choice between the airy ambiance near the windows and the cozy atmosphere surrounding the bar. The bar itself serves as a focal point, characterized by a minimalist timber grid accented with vibrant colors, providing a versatile backdrop for the baristas and mixologists to work their magic.

A Canvas for Creativity

The design ethos of Good Measure Café revolves around providing a platform for creativity and expression. The simplicity of the timber grid allows for endless possibilities, empowering the team to curate unique experiences for their patrons. Whether it’s crafting specialty coffees in the morning or mixing innovative cocktails in the evening, the café serves as a canvas for the team to showcase their skills and expertise.

Bridging Past and Present

In essence, Good Measure Café represents a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. By repurposing a historic building and infusing it with contemporary design elements, We Are Humble has created a space that pays homage to its heritage while embracing the evolving culinary and social landscape of Carlton.
