A gelato and dessert café built around a repeating arch motif — deep navy backlit niches at the service counter and lounge wall, carried through to a street-facing window bar. The first image documents the AY Architects site team mid-fit-out; the rest show the finished space, gelato counter styled and stocked, ready to open.
One arch, repeated at three different scales — service counter, lounge seating, and ceiling coving — ties the café together, with navy blue and brass providing the only real color note against warm neutral marble and plaster.
