Patrons often describe Simply Coffie as a perfect spot to work, relax, or connect with others while enjoying thoughtfully sourced coffee in a space that feels intentional and welcoming.
Thermory Ash: Warmth and Performance Inside and Out
A key design element at Simply Coffie is the extensive use of Thermory Ash, a thermally modified wood known for its durability, dimensional stability, and rich aesthetic character.
Thermal modification uses heat and steam — not chemicals — to enhance the wood’s performance. This makes Thermory Ash ideal for both interior and exterior applications where humidity and weather variation are considerations.
Inside the café, Thermory Ash brings warmth and texture to ceilings and walls, softening large glass surfaces and tall volumes while adding visual depth. The natural grain and warm tone give the space an inviting quality that complements the minimalist layout.
On the exterior, the same material wraps soffits and façade elements, creating continuity between outside and inside. The result is a unified architectural language where material choice reinforces both aesthetics and performance. Mason’s Mill & Lumber supplied all of the Thermory Ash boards for this project, ensuring consistency in quality and finish across every use.
