EBBA Designs Calming Coffee Shop in London's Holborn Tube Station as Urban Refuge
By
Natasha Levy
The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
Architecture studio EBBA designed a coffee shop for Joe Blake's in London's Holborn tube station, creating a "momentary refuge" from the busy urban environment. The design uses warm hues, "milky" surfaces, and thoughtful spatial planning to foster a relaxed atmosphere in a compact former dry cleaner space. The project represents the fifth location for the coffee and baked goods company since its 2019 launch, focusing on creating a calming oasis within the hectic transit hub.
