Inside Starbucks photosShopfitting | Starbucks Coffee Company
Sustainability is part of what we are and what we do. Our goal is to minimize the environmental impacts of our businesses, and this dedication affects almost every facet of our planning and engineering, as well as the countryside, method of constructing, material, lighting and more. Because we believe that a coffee house should be a hospitable, friendly and intimate place where you can meet others, we make our shops so that they mirror the uniqueness of the neighbourhoods they cater for.
We' re also interested in how we can all combine our designs with sustainability in construction practice and raise thought-provoking issues and confrontations with the constructed world. As well as cutting down on the use of electricity and drinking fountains, we use reusable and recyclable material wherever possible and often use local designs and material in our branches.
The LEED® certificate programme of the U.S. The U.S. Environment Council serves as a guideline for our work. We began LEED global accreditation for all new, company-owned branches at the end of 2010 and have developed into a highly effective eco-friendly construction programme with over 1,200 branches in 20 countries/USA.
Starbuck's own designs studio is situated around the world, so our engineers can fully appreciate the community in which they work. Every designer's task is to provide a sensational Starbucks coffee shop adventure, imbued with a sense of community and reflecting the uniqueness of each area. Together we are dedicated to our aim of building sustainable, socially responsible businesses that stimulate and promote the minds of people - one individual, one mug, and a quarter at a stretch.
Photos: Starbucks 5 Store Design inspires the story
Each neighbourhood has a storyline, and often this storyline can be a source of source of inspiration for Starbucks Storefronters. There are five Starbucks warehouses paying homage to the past with redesigned rooms: a storage hall that was nodded to its marine origins, an empty filling Station that was rebuilt to its prime, and a new Starbucks house for old Chicago bars for new Starbucks.
The maritime legacy was part of Starbucks from the very beginning - its name comes from the first officer of the maritime novel "Moby Dick" and its two-tailed Sirenen logotype is a homage to the voyage of his coffeebees around the globe by boat. Starbuck's first shop on Pike Place Market is also part of the story.
Overlooking Seattle's Elliott Bay water front, the shop is near enough to catch a breath of salt water or a glance at the freighters entering and leaving the harbour. A new Starbucks storefront is located just off Pike Place Market, illuminating the company's past in a living room that has been transformed from a ramp for storage at sea.
Situated at the head office of Zulily on-line merchant, the new shop mirrors its neighbourhood with a banquet and sitting platform of dispatch palettes, industrially-styled illumination and the individual artwork of a sitter. It is playful and stretches outwards with fluorescent lettering and a huge siren on an inner brick walls to attract passers-by into the shop.
Situated in the centre of the Toronto trendy quarter, the Starbucks Boutique on the corners of Richmond and Spadina shows the quarter's fabric origins. A room was designed by the designer squad, which echoed with music from a clothing retailer's shop, framing coffeebags and countersunk scales in the cabin.
The New Yorker shop at 11 Penn Plaza is inspirited by Penn Station and the Hudson Rail Yards with a unique style that transports the city's electricality. Lighted rails wind through the room on the roof and pull the customer from the 32. Now, gamers can have a drink on matchdays at a new Starbucks site in Addison and Sheffield in Wrigleyville with an original old Chicago vine.
Some Halloween Halloween suits have been sold in the past. The memory is bringing to live a room that had once been a Restaurant and Staff, but was empty most of the year as a seasonal memory for the sale of Halloween outfits. Starbucks' designer staff worked to highlight the buildings inherent charms of the past days: a skylight, old glasses, tavern furnishings, old tiles, works of art, display, luxury black and white slates.
They also retained the most striking characteristic of the initial structure, a long lounge that stretched the length of the room. At the Highland and Willoughby intersection in Los Angeles, the historical Gilmore gas station was empty and enclosed for 20 years until Starbucks turned it into another autocentric operation as a drivethru with walk-in windows and terrace.
This curvaceous art-deco architecture was erected in 1935 at the beginning of the Californian automotive era and the Golden Era of Hollywood film-making. Our designer staff renovated the most important buildings, maintaining and repairing the original glazing and metallic components wherever possible. They have also made some advanced upgrades by incorporating energy-efficient photoelectric sensors to reproduce the old fluorescent light bulbs so that the room shines high.
Starbucks is powered by its dedication to ecological sustainabilty, community relevance and courageous and imaginative designs, with more than 18 of its own designers around the globe.
