Birdhouse Café

Birdhouse Café was created with the intention to be Nottingham’s first plastic free and cashless café. With their aim of keeping it local, the café is focused on collaborating with successful local brands to bring coffee and food to their customers.

The Café itself was designed in a way that it would provide a bright and welcoming atmosphere where people can enjoy their morning coffee, their lunch or can work in a peaceful atmosphere during the day. The style is minimalistic and industrial which is achieved through the concrete floor and the ribbed metal bar with a timber bar top which is the focal point of the space. While the focus of the space is industrial, there is a sense of warmth which is achieved using wooden elements, pastel colours and plants that are dotted around the café. There is plenty of natural light courtesy of the floor to ceiling windows covering the façade of the building complete with window ledges and high stools making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the hustle of the city. Alternatively, there are soft seating options towards the back of the café and wooden tables of various sizes dotted around for people to sit and take in their surroundings. Additionally, the café has a small space where small start-up craft, and art brands can showcase their work further echoing the café’s commitment to support the local community.
