When The Herb Box, a beloved local cafe, relocated to a new, larger space just down the street from its original location of over 25 years, they were looking to create an inviting, comfortable space where people could feel instantly at home. PDO helped The Herb Box become just that, adding upscale finishes and lighting while mixing in warm, lived-in textures such as exposed wood trusses, herringbone brick, and vintage decor.

With multiple new areas to work with, including outdoor patio seating, a grab and go coffee area, and event spaces, PDO used a palette of rich colors and materials and thoughtful details to create a casually luxurious experience. The resulting spaces feel both generous and cozy, channeling The Herb Box’s focus on hospitality; all within budget and timeline constraints.

Warm woods, rustic herringbone brick and thoughtfully placed display cases make the retail area feel like its own standalone space inside the restaurant. Ensuring the client had plenty of opportunities to merchandise was a key design feature.
Varied event spaces are sprinkled throughout the project, including a private room with patio, outdoor green space, and cozy niches for different party sizes. Residential-inspired light fixtures, wall paneling and decor tie it all together.
