Kilogram Studio designs cedar-lined interior for Toronto juice bar
The interior of this juice bar in Toronto is lined with a prefabricated cedar structure that is designed to be dismantled and reconstructed in future locations (+ slideshow).
The Grow Op juice bar is located in the PATH commercial court beneath the Canadian city's financial district. Kilogram Studio designed the interior to reflect the natural products on sale inside.
Locally sourced cedar wood was used to create an internal structure, which encompasses a large refrigerator, a cash register and storage. The prefabricated element can be easily relocated if the bar needs to move to a new venue.
Cedar blocks were stacked on top of each other to create a plant bed that runs the perimeter of the space.

The two terrarias close to the entrance are lit by neon sculptures in the shape of the Greenhouse Juice Company logo ? a line drawing of a house.
