Vamonos!

Cafe and Fitness Studio, Southwest Detroit. (2024)

Vamonos is a community based cafe and fitness studio located in the vibrant Southwest Detroit Community. Our Design is inspired by the relationship between physical movement and the collective body within the cafe and fitness spaces. A system of layers and objects push and pull in response to activity, point of view, and events. Plants as a source of body sustenance, are celebrated through reimagined Talavera tiles with plant iconography forming tile patterns. Cultural patterns and colors are playfully reinterpreted and deployed to highlight objects, surfaces, and experiences.
