PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Island Vintage Coffee is a renovation of a commercial space within the newly revitalized Royal Hawaiian Center in the heart of Waikiki, the project included: selective demolition, interior renovation, exterior storefront and fixture design. Green Sand Inc. was selected to create a new image and brand for Island Vintage Coffee which better embodies the spirt of the product. A timeless Kahala cottage was used for the basis of design. The goal was to capture the feeling of sitting on a lanai enjoying an afternoon tea of coffee from a slower paced time long since gone, making a strong connection between the premium product and this vintage time.
