Proposed Exterior of a Coffee Shop in Hinsdale, IL. The original image is shown in black and white.
Removing the hexagon window and adding a new window with flanking wood shutters. Then adding longing wooden shutters below in the closed position (no window) for better window alignment.
Client wanted to show the development of the coffee bean from beginning (on the vine) to the roasting process then ready for consumption. A new awning was added over the existing storefront entry. Flower planters added to make the location more inviting and soften the hardscape.
