Company: Pattichides & Partners - Architecture & Design.

9 Firwood Ave, Hazelwood, Pretoria. You can be sure to pin this location of the new Aroma Coffee Roastery - The Village.

Aroma is for sure the newest hot spot in Hazelwood, Pretoria. The surrounding area is home to other quaint restaurants which adds to the social atmosphere throughout the day, but with the vibrant graffiti exterior this newly renovated gem is unmissable.

If you are looking for an authentic Italian experience whether that be Italian gelato, Designer milkshakes, Belgium waffles and ice cream cakes, a light meal or Aroma's renowned gourmet coffee selection this is the address.

Pattichides & Partners - Architecture & Design translated the client's brief into an edgy new design that has become the centre of social life, culture and culinary enjoyment.

The surprises in this space are the dark hue of the American walnut accents and the exposed brick and steel beams that set an industrial tone with accents of leather upholstered chairs while the daylight shining through the glass doors emphasizes the texture and tone of the surfaces.

The open-plan space allows for flow into two exterior seating areas where customers make their way as Aroma is always buzzing with business meetings, students and friends meeting up. The intoxicating atmosphere with a mix of smells, chatting and music will keep you coming back for more.

Kleine Rijke is a new events venue situated on a farm next to the Hartebeespoort Dam in the North West Province.
When “Pretorianers” hear the word “Harties” as it’s better known, for some reason there is a twinkle in their eyes and only after you have been to “Harties” would you understand.
Driving up to Kleine Rijke (pronounced Kleine Ryke /Little Riches) there she was… the resemblance of organic poetry in an architectural form.
When you enter a structure and you grasp the secret language of lines an ever-deep appreciation for design arises and you realise “it” has been woven into your core.
Jasmyn and David the beings behind this work of art welcomed us with their gentle presence. As I was left to capture the space it became evident that much more than just passion went into the design of Kleine Rijke - a life of experience and story was captured and carved in these lines.
When you enter the space the majestically crafted wooden structural art leads your eyes throughout and the sunlight dances in organic shadows, you feel the heart and intention behind this design was pure and meant to share.
As Jasmyn mentioned, the dogs have become very much part of the venue and when they are draped like Egyptian Sphinxes on the steps of this Cape Dutch design you can’t help but smile.
Jasmyn has a heart for people, and I have no doubt that this Events Venue, Kleine Rijke, will reach the hearts of all the people being present within…
