This tenant improvement was completed for a boutique wine tasting room nestled within a compact infill space in the bustling downtown Paso Robles, CA. Despite the limited footprint, the design is focused on delivering a luxurious, intimate experience, carefully balancing function and atmosphere. The layout includes an ADA-compliant restroom, a dedicated wine storage room, and a discreet service area to support staff operations—all seamlessly integrated to maximize efficiency without compromising on elegance.

The tasting room itself was crafted with moody, speakeasy-inspired interiors that evoke a sense of discovery and exclusivity. Rich materials, dramatic lighting, and refined detailing sets the tone for a memorable guest experience. As we navigated the constraints of the existing shell, we simultaneously developed a permit-ready drawing set and a high-touch architectural interior package to ensure both code compliance and an elevated aesthetic.
