This little gem is a brave circuit breaker; it’s not your average pit-stop cafe-sandwich bar. A beautifully crafted bespoke space that aesthetically delivers in spades, it manages to weave together urban chic and Bondi’s laid-back, fashionable culture. The crew at Studio Shand embraced the challenge of ensuring S’wich’s unique cafe concept would transition with ease from day to night and lead with a strong brand identity. The design embodies every aspect you need in a local cafe – the idea of bringing warmth and comfort to the local community is very much in evidence. Located in a classic Art Deco building, the cafe was designed to nod to its Bondi heritage. The small space has a very tactile dimension, featuring custom lighting; warm, rich, bold colours; and prismatic panels between galvanized metal and original brick. This is an example of how to seamlessly integrate many materials yet leave an impression of a minimalist approach.
