A sturdy butcher block countertop provides the garage/workshop with the perfect workspace for home DIY projects. Also a functional detail, the cabinets have been placed on leg levelers to protect the system from spills or flooding.

Antioch Liquors
Passing the Taste Test
This business requested a wine bar and office area to handle the sampling of various wines and craft beers. Different wines are featured on tap during the week, drawing in customers for planned events that are publicized on the company website and social media pages. Additionally, craft beers and hard liquor is also served. We created a 30 foot square bar/island with a raised office area in the center to meet this challenge.

Wine Bar
Closing the Sale Via a Taste and a Toast
The middle bar hosts several key components, including the 16 bottle wine Cruvenit. This wine dispenser was in storage for years at the shop and became our focal point. After staining the exterior to match our laminate, it was set into the middle bar as a custom built-in. Additional challenges included designing the cabinets to meet the special ventilation needs of the Cruvenit temperature control system that allow it to keep wine fresh for six weeks, eliminating spoilage. The end result, however, was well worth the effort as it anchors the entire design.

Store Office
Concealed, but Very Involved in Store Activities
A raised office area was constructed in the in the heart of the wine bar. It allows employees to be involved in all of the day to day activities of the company while the computers, paperwork and files that go with running any kind of business venture remain hidden from view. The goal of this inner office was to build a comfortable work station on a raised platform that could sit two-three people in a concealed manner — employees can see out, but customers cannot see in. This inner office uses the same laminate as the bar, blending everything together harmoniously. Additional storage is included below the raised platform, adding functionality.

Bar
Showcasing the Spirits
The middle bar includes a glass shelving area with LED lights to showcase anything from spirits to wine to glassware, depending on the event. The lower cabinets of the middle bar satisfy the storage needs of concealing various glassware, snacks, office supplies and additional spirits under a coordinating laminate countertop.

Interior Design Studio
A Stylish, Brand New Way for this Studio to Stay Organized
Teri designed this expansive wall unit as a brand new way for this interior design studio to stay organized. The special design offers tons of drawers and shelving — including pull-out shelves that make it easy for designers to access their sample books and portfolios.
Commercial Office
Hybrid Open Office Workstations
These workstations keep everyone together in an open office. However, the short wall in front of each desk adds a touch of privacy and safety for workers. They're not quite a cubicle, yet not your typical table or open desk desk arrangement either. Teri managed to design a creative way to meet the needs of today's business. Productivity is sure to thrive in this office.
