Spoken Moto was an eclectic mix of a coffee shop/bar/retail/event/food cart pod and motorcycle repair shop all wrapped up in an old utility building leftover from the sawmills. The project was designed to utilize the rough interior and exterior of the existing building and show the history. The space incorporated new lighting, interior walls, but highlighted the simplicity of the existing building. The space also featured a bar that served coffee, seasonal drinks, and beer on tap. All of the beautifully built custom furniture, finish accents, and equipment was created by Stuart’s of Bend. Other furniture was provided by Furnish.
Spoken Moto went on to become a beloved meeting place in the community, known for its relaxed, informal atmosphere and welcoming attitude. At the time of its construction, it was known the site would be developed sometime in the future. Unfortunately, Spoken Moto was unable to find a suitable new home in time, however the building was saved! We worked with the new owner and moved the entire structure (known as the Pine Shed) to its new location under our project Catalyst for the Bend Central District. It is now the new home of Dogwood at the Pine Shed.
