We were honored to be brought on to this project at the start for their second location in the county, this time in our neck of the woods. We started with a concept hand-drawn by Botanica Nova co-owner Nick, whose practice as a visual artist inspired the design patio. 

The original High Street Deli in Slo was a great reference point for the owner’s eclectic style, which inspired us to showcase a variety of materials in the final design. The stone path features five stone varieties (brick, pebble mosaic, exposed aggregate, concrete, and pebble). We also conceived and sourced the VW bus bench seat that Botanica Nova co-owner Brandon custom-built out for the space. 

With emphasis on how this would function to serve the community, we conceived and built bar seating along the property built by local metal artist Cody from Formula Factory Fabrication. Honoring the former tenants, Sculptured Egg, we preserved their redwood flooring and repurposed it to build the custom decks and planters. Finishing the garden with custom fencing adorned with road sign ephemera collected by the High Street Deli owner, we created a lively and eclectic space for families to gather and grub.
