Loft Buro has designed the Fresh Black Roastery and Bar in Kyiv, Ukraine.

This project is a combined food-business space in Reytarska Circle, located in a round modernist building after an extensive renovation.

The once swimming pool space has been incorporated into the principal design as the "Coffee Roasting Theatre", which accommodates tables for up to 20 people, along with a degustation table, roaster, packaging corner and a warehouse for final products. In addition, the art gallery depicts Kyiv's local cafes.

A multifunctional space joined together a variety of businesses. Fresh Black Roastery and Bar's democratic atmosphere is a positive example of how a postmodern building can be updated and adapted for new public and commercial functions.

This project has been longlisted in the sustainable interior category of Dezeen Awards 2022.
