Enghelab Café Roastery
A small café in an old shopfront near the University of Tehran that makes its coffee roaster the heart of the room.
The shop measured just 210 square metres, its tall ceiling formed of old steel joists and shallow brick jack-arches. The client wanted customers to be able to watch the coffee being roasted.
Jack-arches and copper
We uncovered and cleaned the brick jack-arch ceiling. The roaster sits behind a glass wall at the centre, and the counter is clad in hammered copper made by coppersmiths in Zanjan. A small timber mezzanine serves students who stay for hours to study.
