TolTerra is a custom architectural installation composed of parametrically designed members of plywood, Valchromat, and acrylic, articulated to replicate the radiating geometry of a ripple as it cascades from the ceiling plane down to the wall. The composition transitions from sparse, open members at the ceiling, allowing natural light to filter freely through the piece, into a denser arrangement at the wall. The material palette responds directly to Earth Coffee's commitment to raw, natural materials, with the earth tones of Valchromat and raw, lightly finished plywood reflecting the character of the existing interior. The ripple form itself becomes a quiet metaphor for the radiating warmth of a shared gathering place.
