In Okinawa

Uruma Store

Description

A drive-thru store built on an existing shopping mall, part of a wall made of white Okinawan-themed blocks in front of the site was preserved by request of the owner. 

As the company’s first store in Uruma at the time, the concept of the design directly referred to coffee in order to introduce the brand and its core business.

Part of the walls were covered with cement boards made with coffee grounds, which are visible at close distance.
