Office Orbit Café
A compact self-service café that orbits an office stair — a curved timber counter tracing the staircase radius, turning passage space into destination and coffee into a social act.
Orbit
The logic comes from the word itself: employees move around the stair, pass through the courtyard, stop for coffee, and interact through the day. An open, employee-operated coffee point makes the act of making coffee social rather than transactional.
The curved counter
The key move: a compact service island whose continuous curved front follows the radius of the existing staircase, fitting the residual space at its base without blocking circulation. Stair and counter read as one composed element.
Under-stair shelving
The underside of the stair becomes integrated shelving — warm wood and dark metal holding cups, jars, appliances and supplies — turning dead space into working storage.
