A New Store Design from Starbucks
I recently came across this article about a new eco-friendly Starbucks location in Seattle. It is the first of its kind, and really grasps hold of the green movement from the reclaimed wood furnishings to the locally baked goodies. Most people either love Starbucks or can’t stand the corporate coffee scene, but this location hasn’t branded with that green circle logo we have become all to familiar with. The designers of this coffee shop have taken a completely different approach in the lighting fixtures, furniture, displays, and signage displayed through out the shop. It is always fun to see how the spaces & places we live in continue to be influenced by the environmentally conscious movement.
Take a look at the article and photos and let us know what you think of the design of this new Starbucks!

Very cool! I’d not seen or heard about this before!
I definitely like the look **a lot**. Much, much more so than their current style.
This is a cool new take on the Starbucks coffee shop design, but it’s no accident that it’s not branded with Starbucks logos. This is one of their stealth stores, meant to perhaps capture some of the market that would rather patronize what would appear to be a mom & pop coffee store rather than a corporate chain. I didn’t include the link to avoid getting this comment caught in a spam filter, but just google ‘starbucks stealth seattle coffee shop’
