One big room, lit by the day

Sun Cafe is one open hall: a wall of steel windows to the south, two skylights in the roof and no dark corners, only better and worse hours to sit in each part.

A wide, high-ceilinged hall with a long lit bar and tall steel windows

The whole hall, from above

Move the sun through a day. Light only gets in where the building lets it, through the south glass, the side windows and the skylights, and every chair throws its own shadow.

Six places to sit

Each part of the hall has its hour. Switch on the zones in the studio to find them on the plan.

A long counter against the south glass. First to catch the morning.

Small tables in loose rows, moved by hand to wherever the light is.
The long tables
Six apiece
Shared tables between the skylights, for spreading out.
The lounge
Sofas and armchairs
