As part of the broader Berkeley Campsite Master Plan, the central canteen was designed as the heart of the site—a multifunctional space that brings together employees and visitors in a setting that supports both daily routines and moments of rest. While the overall master plan includes accommodation units and landscaping strategies, the canteen stands out as a social and operational anchor.
The layout is carefully organized into flexible zones to accommodate a range of uses, including communal dining, casual lounging, meetings, and informal socializing.
Key areas include:
• Serving Area
• Dining Area
• Lounge Area
• Boardroom
• Coffee Bar

Custom furniture was crafted using locally sourced Ninsambia wood and steel profiles, merging industrial functionality with regional craftsmanship. The result is a space that reflects both practicality and a strong sense of place—serving as a warm, grounded hub within the larger master plan.
