We designed and project-managed the Marylebone site for Panadera, a Filipino bakery and coffee shop celebrating the flavours and traditions of Filipino baking through a contemporary approach. Specialising in a variety of pandesal-based products, including loaves, sandos and traditional baked goods with a modern twist, Panadera brings a distinctive food concept to the heart of Marylebone.

The design was developed to create an inviting, understated space that connects the bakery with the surrounding streetscape. Positioned slightly above street level, the shop features a clean, minimalist service bar crafted from Corian, providing a refined focal point within the interior. A large glazed shopfront maximises visibility into the space, showcasing the activity within and establishing a strong visual connection between the bakery and the street.

To maximise the functionality of the premises, we designed the basement to accommodate the commercial kitchen and back-of-house facilities, ensuring an efficient operational layout while keeping the customer-facing space open and welcoming. A new staircase was also designed to provide convenient access between the ground floor and basement, integrating circulation seamlessly into the overall layout.

Our scope encompassed the complete interior design, space planning, bespoke service bar design, kitchen and back-of-house layout, staircase design and project management, delivering a cohesive and functional environment tailored to Panadera’s operational needs and brand identity.

The result is a contemporary neighbourhood bakery that combines thoughtful design, efficient functionality and an inviting street presence, creating a distinctive setting for Panadera’s take on Filipino baking culture.
