Ground-floor coffee amenity for The Plaza at Continental Park, a 508,690 SF Class A office campus in El Segundo built as three linked towers around a half-acre open-air courtyard. Working for Continental Development, we designed a 700 SF café for Offset Coffee, a multi-location California roaster, positioned to face the courtyard and read as part of the campus amenity program alongside the fitness center and existing dining.

The project sits at the intersection of two clients' requirements: a landlord's amenity strategy and an established brand's operating standards. Service is predominantly to-go for building tenants, so we planned the space for throughput at the counter, with seating for ten at a communal table and banquette. We laid out the coffee and espresso service to hold a morning rush on a single barista line — order, grind, brew, and pickup sequenced so one person can work the bar without backtracking, with a separate POS and food prep station running alongside. A commercial kitchen supports light preparation of premade items alongside the beverage program.
