Treathouse was designed for Nobó as a hybrid between shop, café, office and food innovation lab. Its guiding principle is transparency: food production is placed on show, so retail, tasting and innovation remain visually connected while moments of privacy are possible where needed.

The intervention works within a protected structure. Two sets of arched walls organise the plan: one divides the shopfront from production, the other layers offices and tasting rooms. These insertions are light and reversible, respecting the historic fabric while giving the space new rhythm.

Timber framed internal windows are set into the arches to provide shelving, seating and display, combining utility with warmth. Materials are restrained: the existing concrete floor was uncovered, while bespoke raw timber joinery adds tactility and detail.

Treathouse blurs categories. It is shop, studio and lab, a place of making, research and exchange. Architecture becomes part of the brand ethos: open, inventive and generous, a space that makes the culture of natural food visible.
