Sitting at the base of the Australian Tax Office in Box Hill, Melbourne, sits the Penny Drop Café designed by We are Huntly – the same team behind the recently featured Balaclava House project. Working in collaboration with Pop & Pac design studio, the concept behind the naming of the cafe plays on the idea of penny’s dropping from the pockets of the ATO above. Here, the use of art deco features and textured surfaces by We are Huntly work to add a warmth and softness to what could be otherwise considered a sterile space given the nature of the buildings occupants.
