Based out of Melbourne, Spring Street Grocer is a cold pressed juicer, gelato bar, grocery store, sandwich shop and underground cheese cellar all in one. The Australian corner store offers a plethora of specialty food items while featuring a retro and theatrical design from KGA Architects.
Kristin Green Architecture brought a playful element to the multitasking retail space, which according to Retail Design Blog "captures the new urban essence of small-grain urbanism where the relatively hidden activities of Melbourne’s lanes are manifested on the main streets."
As if Spring Street Grocer did not offer enough, the colorful and cleverly designed boutique still has room for exhibits and events in addition to a delicatessen and cafe.
