The project

MUD\WTR is a cafe, community hub and wellness space in Santa Monica, California, designed to foster connection, support mental health, and promote overall wellbeing.

The brand’s products are rooted in adaptogens, organic ingredients and holistic health, and the interior design of their flagship cafe reflects this philosophy. Natural materials and abundant planting create a calming, restorative atmosphere. At its heart, the central bar is crafted from our Rammed Earth finish in soft caramel tones, providing a striking focal point whilst reinforcing the project’s sustainable ethos and enhancing indoor air quality.
