FRANKO & CO - bakery and Coffeeshop

Interior of the Franko&CO bakery in Sausalito, inspired by Ukrainian village warmth and heritage

Location: Sausalito, California
Designed and executed in 2024-2025
Scope: interior design and construction administration
750 sq.ft

Located in the heart of downtown Sausalito, California, Franko&CO is a coffeeshop and bakery named after Ivan Franko - Ukrainian writer, doctor of philosophy and political activist.

We developed a unique interior design that reflects a harmonious blend of Ukrainian heritage and local culture. Our design is inspired by the warm and grounding colors of a traditional Ukrainian village, with carefully curated collectible pieces, such as handcrafted ceramics, that tell stories of craftsmanship and authenticity.

This space is more than just an aesthetic experience; it’s a celebration of ethnicity, honoring Ukrainian traditions while weaving them seamlessly with the rich cultural tapestry of Sausalito. Each element is thoughtfully chosen to create a space that feels both familiar and fresh, offering a sense of comfort and connection to all who visit.

At Franko&CO, we’ve created a place where heritage meets modernity, where history finds its place in the present, and where every detail reflects a story worth preserving.
