Scot in Victoria:.

Kiosks, under appreciated and often overlooked as a building form in urban areas have found their way into downtown Victoria’s street scene. The parking lot surrounding the Asian street food kiosk is crying out for a tactical placemaking exercise with some tables, chairs and planters, maybe some stringlights overhead.

I believe the coffee kiosk was re-purposed from an old parking attendants structure, I wanted to ask but they had just closed for the day.

These look pretty neat. I’m puzzled as to why the abandoned structures were not bulldozed to make way for 2 more parking spaces when the operation was automated.
Indeed.
The Foo ‘kiosk’ in Victoria is actually originally a gas station fron the 30s or 40s. It’s also been a taxi dispatch office and a private beer and wine store.
The Heist coffee shop used to be a rental car company kiosk.
