Toby's Estate

Name: Toby's Estate
Location: Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Design: Nema


As the American flagship for Australian coffee, Toby's Estate is a comfortable and curated space.




I enjoy that the shelving and retail space was treated as if it could be in your home, rather than a cafe. 


Toby's Estate hopes to be a location for coffee and coffee education and features a long marble toped bar with pour-over and espresso making on display. It also features a separate room designed for classes and exploring the world of coffee further.



 Using primarily off the shelf solutions, they managed to curate a space that feels cohesive and welcoming.

Southeast Wine Collective


Location: Portland, OR



Southeast Wine Collective has created an urban tasting room, bringing together four local wineries.
The space is a blend of urban warehouse and warm tasting room and use the wine as both displays and focal points. 


The main tasting bar uses wine barrels as shelving and texture. Wine stored bottom out creates a great visual flanking each side. 


The space also created multiple seating types including banquette, bar, and community table seating. All of these allow the tasting room to offer multiple experiences and host different events.
