Senso Espresso
Senso Espresso is a stylish, modern café that has recently opened at Westfield Carousel in Cannington. Nestled within Westfield’s newly redeveloped space, which has been designed to offer a unique retail, dining, and entertainment experience, Senso Espresso stands out as an exciting new business venture. BHO Interiors was thrilled to be involved in bringing this concept to life, working on everything from branding to interior design to ensure a seamless, cohesive experience for café patrons.
In collaboration with both Westfield and our clients, we embarked on a journey to fully understand their vision, values, and aspirations. This deep understanding allowed us to craft a design that truly aligns with the essence of the Senso brand while harmonising with the overall aesthetic of Westfield’s new development. A key part of the design challenge was to unify two distinct spaces—the main café area and the dining section situated in the busy main concourse of the shopping centre. To address this, we aimed to blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor environments, creating a sense of continuity between the two spaces.
To achieve this, we employed a combination of contrasting colours and natural elements. The inclusion of greenery throughout both the café and the dining area helped evoke a sense of tranquillity and warmth, transforming the spaces into cozy, inviting havens. The design also made clever use of Westfield’s tall ceilings, amplifying the feeling of openness and airiness in the café. This openness contrasts beautifully with the intimate seating arrangements, striking a balance between spaciousness and comfort.
In terms of materials and finishes, we opted for minimalistic design elements that convey sophistication without overwhelming the space. Clean lines, soft lighting, and carefully chosen textures all contribute to an aesthetic that is distinctive yet understated, allowing the focus to remain on Senso Espresso’s specialty coffee and enticing menu offerings.
