Kofi Kofi- Hospitality Cafe Fit-Out
Location: Brandon Park, Victoria.
Delivery Model: Turnkey Delivery
Project Value: $163K
Service: Hospitality/Retail
CHALLENGE
Kofi Kofi engaged us to build a café environment that not only matched their brand identity but also met the complex practical demands of a commercial hospitality space. Working within an existing tenancy, the project required careful integration of new hydraulic services, 3-phase electrical for specialist equipment, and compliance with safety standards — all while maintaining clarity around budget and delivery expectations from the outset.
APPROACH
We adopted a design & construct delivery model to de-risk delivery and ensure a seamless transition from concept through to construction. Early feasibility work, site audits and detailed documentation helped eliminate uncertainty and streamline coordination across disciplines. The design focused on back-of-house function and front-of-house experience, with custom joinery, quality finishes and layout refinements that supported service workflows and brand presentation.
DELIVERY
Associated Projects delivered the Coffee Hit refurbishment as a coordinated, live-centre hospitality fit-out, managing site protection, centre access and trade sequencing to keep works moving safely and efficiently. We began with demolition and make-good works, supported by progressive waste removal and ongoing site cleaning to maintain a controlled environment throughout the build.
From there, we upgraded the kiosk presentation with a full finishes uplift, including surface preparation and new tiling to key areas, highlighted by a green mosaic feature for stronger brand impact. Timber cladding was sealed and refreshed, while painted and powder-coated trims and black aluminium kicker detailing delivered a clean, durable finish suited to a high-traffic retail setting.
To elevate the customer experience and visibility, we coordinated electrical isolation and reinstatement, provided new power provisions where required, and integrated LED strip lighting to the counter for a sharper, more premium front-of-house feel. Joinery and display elements were installed to support day-to-day operations, alongside a seating refresh, incorporating reupholstery allowances and a new loose furniture package to complete the upgrade.
The final stage focused on brand presence, with new illuminated Coffee Hit signage and pylon elements installed and integrated with lighting/display allowances, ensuring the kiosk stands out on the mall line and is ready for immediate trade.
OUTCOME
Kofi Kofi now operates from a refined, high-performance café space that elevates brand presence and supports efficient service delivery. The completed environment features premium finishes, compliant infrastructure, and durable detailing suited to a hospitality setting. Delivered on budget and ready for trade, this fit-out sets a strong foundation for future growth.
