Matchstick Coffee - Davie
A coffee shop serves many purposes for the broader community; the space needed to support quiet work and contemplation, but also act as a “third place” for people to meet and connect.

For Matchstick’s central Davie Street location, Human Studio was tasked to create a well lit, inviting, and acoustically sound environment. Matchstick was designed to blend the indoors and outdoors with a gentle gradient of acoustics in mind. As a result, the space caters to both deep work and collaboration. We hope that people of all ages, abilities, and purposes feel comfortable connecting over coffee in this space.
