Arvo at 57

Primrose Hill, London - 2023

Brunch & Coffee

Set on Regent’s Park Road in Primrose Hill, ARVO takes its name from the Australian expression for “afternoon”, reflecting the relaxed, sociable rhythm at the heart of the café. The interior responds to the neighbourhood’s independent character through a light, tactile palette of textured plaster, pale oak, linen and terrazzo. Within the compact plan, arched thresholds, softly illuminated niches and integrated seating create depth and an intuitive sense of movement. A bespoke circular relief at the rear translates the muted terracotta, beige and green tones of the tableware into an architectural focal point. A louvred pergola draws daylight into the rear seating area while extending its use across the seasons. The result is a calm, sunlit setting for all-day brunch—informal in character, yet carefully composed.
