STORY
As you stroll along South Congress, you might catch sight of a well-loved sign that says "Espresso, Champagne, Chain Lube." The Meteor, founded by the brilliant minds behind Intelligentsia Coffee, offers not only one of the finest lattes in town but also one of the better bike shops. This extraordinary mid-century modern revival is bursting with personality, yet the bike shop and restaurant feel like two separate businesses. The stunning facade suffers from a lackluster quasi-retro identity, and the witty sign feels disconnected. With numerous opportunities overlooked, I created this concept to seize them, merging biking and café culture into one seamless experience.
