Hanks Bagelry, an Armadale Cafe inspired by a fusion of Armadales historic 19th century railway precinct and New York City itself. We enhanced the vintage nuances of the building, such as the facade and brick interior, to create a cosmopolitan eatery that is bathed in natural light. It was important to highlight the textures of what was existing, while adding fresh style with the crisp lines.
