To the piesmith, what is reminiscent of home is not only a pie but visions of a room spending endless hours reading in, the perfect vessel for dreams. The art of pie-making transcends the core philosophies of science, art, history, and mathematics. In turn, we envisaged a study, a library of sorts. For both the piesmith and the patron, the pie is featured in a space that blends the time that has passed and that is present. The architectural coffer traditionally creates a shift in spatial quality and presents weightlessness. As a twist on the coffered plane, the dominant surface becomes raised and layered with additional movement from the natural wood grain. The upgrade introduces coffee service, a renewed display of offerings, a dual transaction counter, and casual side-by-side bench seating. It invites you to stay a while longer, past the usual pick-up and dash, to enjoy and explore the beautifully imperfect yet delicious pies with friends or loved ones.
