Commercial · Café
Jimmy Monkey One-North
A café among the greenery of a conserved former army barracks, reworked for more seats, more light and a calmer kitchen.
The lounge
Long bench seating replaced the old loose tables, adding seats and turning every guest towards the greenery outside. A floor-to-window dark tinted mirror wall doubles the sense of space, while the barracks' original toilet bowl and lighting were kept as features.
Greens and pastry
To keep a small room from feeling crowded, the herb-plant drawer hides behind a tinted mirror door on the electrical box. The large coffee roaster moved elsewhere, freeing a dedicated, warmly lit pastry display on a walnut wood-grain counter.
The enclosed kitchen
A black painted headboard gives the chefs a place for daily specials. Graphite subway tiles run at varying heights, an L-shaped food pass with heat lamps speeds service, and reclaimed crate slabs keep cost down and durability up.
