CASA DRIFTWOOD
Design Consultation Proposal
Coffee Art & Foto Art Renovation | Mijas Pueblo
Introduction
our design intent
Coffee Art and Foto Art are evolving into a multifunctional café and gallery space that also has the potential to operate as an event venue within Mijas Pueblo. The goal of this renovation is to create a cohesive environment that supports daily café operations, art display, and flexible gatherings in a way that feels intentional and well integrated.
In a village setting like Mijas, spaces that bring people together carry quiet significance. A café and gallery that functions well both operationally and atmospherically can become a consistent gathering point for residents and visitors alike.
Casa Driftwood approaches renovation through spatial clarity, thoughtful material direction, and cohesive design strategy. In this project, our role is consultative and design-focused, providing clear vision, layout guidance, lighting direction, and overall environmental cohesion to support the next chapter of Coffee Art and Foto Art.
We believe this collaboration can strengthen the identity of the space while contributing positively to the village atmosphere and community experience.

Media Documentation
Portfolio & Storytelling
As part of expanding Casa Driftwood's commercial portfolio within Mijas, we intentionally document select projects throughout their design development. This allows us to share the process behind the design, not just the finished result.
We believe the renovation of Coffee Art and Foto Art presents an opportunity to thoughtfully showcase the evolution of a commercial space within the pueblo. Sharing aspects of the design process and final transformation can bring additional visibility to your business while highlighting the care and intention behind the renovation.
