Build & Design

Dr. Bean's Espresso was a project and venture that emerged from a passion for architecture, interior, art, and design. Chantel meticulously crafted the coffee shop from the ground up, taking on every task from removing old carpet, sanding the floor, painting the walls, and installing shelves. She also attained planning permits, and trading licences, sourced the furniture, selected suppliers and vendors, and acquired the essential equipment and stock. With creative vision, she colour coordinated and designed the inviting interior and created the unique shop logo that balanced the modern and traditional to create a classic look that fits in with the Victorian period and place inside out.
