The Brief

Mojo Coffee required an upgrade to an existing café site to better suit their brand, workflow, and customer experience. The space needed to be modernised while still maintaining the familiarity and character their customers recognised.

The project also required careful coordination to minimise disruption and ensure the new fitout could be delivered efficiently, within budget, and to a high standard. Flexibility was important, as design elements evolved throughout the process.

Our Approach

Corva managed the project from initial design through to construction, working closely with Lucid Commercial Design to develop and deliver the updated café environment. The focus was on creating a practical layout that supported daily service while improving the overall look and feel of the space.

We coordinated all trades and site activities, ensuring clear communication and alignment across the programme. As the design progressed, our team adapted to changes efficiently, incorporating updates without impacting timelines or quality.

Key elements such as the acoustic timber ceiling, internal partitions, and custom finishes were carefully integrated to enhance both performance and visual appeal.

The Result

The completed café delivers a refreshed and functional space that reflects the Mojo Coffee brand while improving day-to-day operations. The balance between updated design elements and brand continuity creates a welcoming environment for customers and staff alike.

The project was completed on time and under budget, with a high level of finish and attention to detail throughout. The result is a well-executed hospitality space that supports both service efficiency and customer experience.
