When the founders of &black set out to create their first Auckland cafe location, they envisioned a space grounded in culture, connection, and community — a physical embodiment of their brand ethos: “Grounded in culture, powered by community.”
Hellospace transformed the narrow tenancy on Broadway into a calm, inviting café that feels both modern and soulful. The design blends smooth, micro-plastered surfaces with warm timber joinery and buttery tan leather seating, bringing softness and tactility to the clean, minimal palette.
A signature curved ceiling unifies the compact space, creating a gentle flow from entry to counter. The reuse of existing lighting and carefully integrated joinery detailing kept the fitout both sustainable and cost-effective, while the subtle layering of tone and texture adds quiet depth.
The result is a serene, design-focused café that celebrates connection — a space where culture, craft, and community meet over a perfect cup of coffee.
