WORKPLACE DINING, ELEVATED WITH STYLE.
T-Mobile transformed their café from a simple coffee bar into a full-service space with coffee, sandwiches, a customizable salad bar, and grab-and-go options with self-pay kiosks.
Inspired by a “European Market” concept, the design balances function and ambiance. A shift from a bright, open setting to a moodier, lounge-like atmosphere encourages guests to linger. Seating options—including built-in banquettes with live plants—enhance comfort and flexibility.
Custom wood arches with fluted glass soften the space, while curved counters and a mirrored soffit, framed in metal and fluted acrylic, create a seamless flow. Visitors are naturally guided from both the front lobby and the previously underutilized back entry, now activated through strategic branding.
A large dining area expands into adjacent conference rooms via an operable wall, making the café a dynamic, multi-functional hub for gathering and collaboration.
This transformation delivers a sophisticated, inviting experience that redefines the café as a central workplace destination.
