Spring Valley Coffee – Islington

The Project

Spring Valley Coffee approached us to act as main contractor for the launch of their flagship UK coffee shop in Islington, marking the debut of their Kenyan coffee brand on British soil. We were excited to help bring their vision to life and craft a space that captured their identity.

What We Did

We designed and installed a bespoke coffee bar to serve as the focal point of the shop—carefully planned to accommodate all equipment and ensure smooth, efficient operation. The interior was fitted out with handmade natural plywood joinery, complemented by thoughtfully chosen flooring, lighting, and finishes to reflect Spring Valley’s distinctive brand aesthetic.

Our attention to detail extended to preserving the space’s original brickwork and architectural character, ensuring the new design blended seamlessly with the existing features.

The Result

The finished space is warm, welcoming, and characterful, combining rustic charm with an industrial edge—perfectly suited to the creative energy of Camden Passage. Through a close and collaborative relationship with the client, we ensured every detail aligned with their vision.

Why It Matters

Spring Valley Coffee’s commitment to unity and sustainability was a guiding principle throughout the project. From material choices to design elements, we ensured these values were reflected in the final outcome. The result is a space that not only showcases the Spring Valley brand but also delivers a memorable experience for every customer who walks through the door.

“We had an amazing experience with HighCraft South East. From the moment we were introduced, they were professional, and went from being contractors and fit-out specialists to thought-partners and friends very quickly.

Not only did they help us think through the design & build, they also worked closely with me and my architect to execute on a beautiful build for our first international store. The attention to detail, quality of build, and the friendliness of the team made them a joy to work with!

The team found creative solutions to challenges we uncovered along the way, saved us money where it was possible, and delivered the project on-time and on-budget.

We will definitely be working with HighCraft South East on our future stores, and have already introduced them to our friends and neighbours.”
