Mari Bakeshop occupies a ground floor commercial space in Calgary's East Village. The design for Mari responds to the particular character of this neighbourhood: direct, confident, and designed to earn its place within a competitive and increasingly sophisticated landscape.
The interior is organized for the specific choreography of a bakeshop: a clear separation between the theatre of production and the calm of consumption, with the baking counter positioned as the room's focal element. Materials are honest and durable — the kind that improve with use. The design invites people to stay, to return, and to feel at home.
