Cafe Bourgeois is located in the suddenly urban docklands area, located adjacent to the front door of the new Myers building.

The cafe identity and architecture are entwined, the spatial gymnastics implied by the wallpaper mirroring the ironic ambitions of the franchise name.

This idealised three dimensional space imprints on the cafe walls an other worldly quality - a backdrop for glowing displays, the relentless warmth of the polished joinery end-grain and the resilient reception of the rich Marmoleum colours underfoot.
