CAFE BRIO
ARCATA, CA
COMPLETED: 2007, ADDITION COMPLETED: 2018
On the Plaza in downtown Arcata, Cafe Brio converted an old muffler shop into a classical European patisserie, bakery, and cafe. It is a popular meeting place, filled with the smell of fresh croissants and hot coffee. A warm and intimate space, it is designed with plentiful daylighting, stack ventilation, radiant-floor heating...and lots of morning sun.
