Project: SPACE 156

Since October of 2010, I have been working on building a coffee show in the Nolita District of NYC. The shop is called Nolita Mart & Espresso bar and is located at 156 Mott Street between Broome Street and Grande Street. The owners and investers Selina Ho and James Fong has become amazing friends of mine throughout the 2 month building and design process. They are both visionaries in the food industry and have brought something to Nolita that has been lacking for years. This is my first commercial property outside of retail, so I am super xcitede to watch it grow!







We sourced two barns in upstate New York and had them torn down,

de-nailed, and shipped to the heart of New York City.








I create season installation elements based off our coffee products

and organic grocery store in the back of the coffee shop.









We are the flagship store for Stumptown Coffee Brooklyn NY. Tourist from around the
globe target this shop now for this one of a kind global coffee identity.
















I hand crafted this coffee bar from re-claimed wood. The walls are

french subway tiles, and the graphic on the wall is one of my

free hand drawings to bring in some natural elements.
