Hear what they have to say:

“We are delighted to share our exceptional experience working with Corva on two café builds in Christchurch. Their professionalism, efficiency, and dedication to excellence were evident at every stage of the process. Not only did they deliver both projects under budget, but their transparency in communicating program timelines gave us complete confidence in their ability to meet our goals.

One of the most impressive aspects of working with Corva was their adaptability to changes in design input. They welcomed feedback and seamlessly incorporated adjustments without disrupting progress, ensuring the final result exceeded our expectations.

Their work on refreshing our Vivace branded cafe deserves special recognition. They skilfully modernised our space, while preserving the core values and identity that define who we are. The balance they achieved between innovation and tradition resonated deeply with our team and our customers alike.

Our board of directors was incredibly impressed by the outcome, and we are excited to continue working with Corva on future projects. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, talented, and forward-thinking partner in the industry.”

Vivace Espresso – Cafe Interior Design & Fitout, Christchurch

Located in the heart of Christchurch, Corva Commercial Interiors delivered a complete design-and-build fitout of the Vivace Espresso cafe. Corva reimagined the space with a contemporary design that blends functionality and style.

Engaged by Mojo Coffee for the second time, Corva led the complete interior refurbishment of the cafe fitout. From concept to completion, our Christchurch team provided a comprehensive end-to-end service, coordinating the entire process while maintaining tight timelines and clear communication.

Hospitality Interior Fitout and Project Delivery

Corva’s scope included complete interior design and fitout for the new hospitality space, project coordination and management, and a defit of the existing space. We also installed new flooring, ceiling, lighting, and all custom joinery that made up the cafe space.

Preserving Brand Identity While Elevating the Space

We worked closely with the client to honour Vivace Espresso’s brand values through subtle design, natural textures, and warm tones that reflect the cafe’s long-standing presence in Christchurch’s hospitality scene.

The layout was reconfigured for optimised flow, making the space more efficient for staff during peak times and more comfortable for customers dining in or grabbing takeaway.

Bespoke Joinery & Design Features

The custom joinery was designed and built by Corva to maximise functionality while keeping it to the design vision. The flooring materials and lighting schemes help zone the space, defining customer areas while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.

Efficiency, Transparency & Budget Control

Delivered under budget and with transparent communication at every step, the Vivace Espresso fitout is an excellent example of how thoughtful design and project coordination can combine to deliver exceptional results.
