Yellow Coffee & Tea 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 that exhibits 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 composed with three shipping containers and topped with a distinctive stepped parapet on the exterior. This parapet references a false-front common to commercial buildings in town, yet exaggerates the typical false-front by rotating 3-dimensional boxes within the parapet to create depth, shadow, and unique signage. Inside, custom-made tables, counters, doors, and floors offer a warm and inviting, yet a slightly loud and energetic atmosphere.
