Occupying a 350 s.f. storefront on Stanton Street in Manhattan's
increasingly-trendy Lower East Side, the Ini Ani Espresso
Bar posed an interesting design problem to architects Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis.
With only $40,000 for the budget (approx. $115 per s.f.) and
three months for design and construction, the local
three-person firm designed and built all of the finishes,
including "the cardboard and cast plaster walls, lights,
curtains, door handles, cor-ten door and window frames, front
sign and all the furniture," according to the firm's
web page.
