MYMYMY Architecture for Recess Coffee
6b Barker Street
Griffith
Canberra, ACT
Recess is a neighbourhood café that fuses the contemplative spirit of a Japanese listening bar with the material rigour of Bauhaus craft. Designed to foster connection through music, reading, and design, its expressive joinery and warm palette create a nostalgic, tactile atmosphere that invites lingering, conversation, and cultural engagement.
