Sourdough Sophia

Interior Design

A crowd funded local Crouch End bakery conceived and opened during the Covid-19 pandemic. The shop is testament to the growing shift toward smaller, local businesses that can revitalise the high street. This project was the first scheme to set a benchmark for further branches.

The front public area is imagined as a cabinet and gives a sense of intimacy to the small space. The bespoke panelling is constructed of oak, the material used for the bread making worktops. The design is a modern interpretation of the timber lined shops in Crouch End that were originally built in the Victorian era. A pink concrete tiled floor continues through both spaces.

The bakery area is visible for visitors to experience the production of the bread. This was an important part of the overall brand approach, which grew from online classes and videos. The bakery will also be used for classes to teach Sourdough baking skills.
