Commercial Construction: Café Pistache

The large window surface offers significant potential for natural light. The challenge lies in organizing the café layout so that this brightness fully benefits the interior spaces.

The size of the space requires precise organization to meet standards and capacity requirements. The challenge is to articulate functions, circulation, and volumes into a fluid and welcoming environment.

A careful analysis of the building helps us understand its condition, components, and unique features. The assessment focuses on electrical and plumbing systems, their age, and any elements requiring upgrades or replacement. This building assessment allows us to anticipate necessary interventions, identify key issues, and establish a realistic action plan and preliminary budget.

Close collaboration with the owners ensures continuity between design and construction. In this project, one of the owners, who holds a degree in architecture, had designed the plans for the future space. Cré-Actif worked closely with her to translate this vision into construction details, anticipate site challenges, and preserve the original intent throughout the project.

For any business, every day on a construction site has a direct impact on operational launch and profitability. Planning was therefore designed from the outset to reduce delays and ensure efficient coordination. Cré-Actif worked closely with custom furniture manufacturers from the early stages to anticipate production needs, coordinate tasks, and avoid delays during construction.
