Yellow Coffee & Tea (in permitting) is a boutique start-up company focused on great coffee & tea as well as fostering joy, community, and supporting local artists in the town of Olivehurst, California. Yellow Coffee & Tea is designed with an art gallery for exhibitions of locally-based artists beside an outdoor venue area for events, gallery openings, and of course great coffee & tea.
Located on a currently undeveloped lot, this project entails the full gamut of site improvements along with a new building for the company featuring a coffee bar, Pinball, an outdoor event space, and a small art gallery dedicated to local Yuba County artists. This bespoke commercial building is topped with a distinctive parapet that references the false-fronts common to commercial buildings in town. In this case, however, the parapet is more volumetric as it exaggerates the typical false-front by rotating 3-dimensional boxes to create depth, shadow, and unique signage.
