Sleek, futuristic shop Andrea’s Cookies has a small grab-and-go bakery in Toronto. StudioAC makes effective use of the compact space, starting with its interior’s circular gesture. The pink plywood counter acts as a beacon to gather interest from passersby on the street while commanding the attention of those inside. The nifty counter serves multiple functions: it sets the visual design language, it creates intrigue into the store, and it sets the flow of the space.

The curving counter choreographs the direction of customers, who begin on one end where they order and slide along the counter to the other to pick up. The pink is juxtaposed with stainless steel on the countertops, a pairing mirrored in the above bulwark to better frame the order area.

White clean walls act as a backdrop to foreground the bulwark and counter. The space is lit with a spherical pendant, continuing the counter’s rounded theme. Behind the service area, the shop’s own product is displayed on shelving matching the pink color gradient of the plywood. StudioAC also developed the branding of the shop, employing the custom pink color throughout the interior and bakery identity. The outpost’s interior, logos, and cookies boxes are united in sweet pink packaging.
