The Grove Juicery

For a new location and prototype for the expanding Grove Juicery + Wellness Cafe, Actual Architecture Co. designed a calming space to enhance the local business’ passion for natural health, wellbeing & sustainability. The interior at The Grove West offers an unexpected contrast to its new strip mall location using White Oak dowels to wrap primary spaces and create an ambient lighting effect softening the hard edges of partitions and demising walls. The working bar and open door to the prep area allow patrons to see staff producing juices on site (all production is local to the store) while a relaxing banquette adds color and encourages people to linger. The dowels and an abundance of living plants lend the space a biophilic quality and forest grove-like effect adding visual depth to the narrow retail bay.
