% Arabica Riyadh Roastery

% Arabica Riyadh Roastery

This is the concept design and construction supervision of the second store in Saudi Arabia for the Kyoto-based coffee shop brand "%ARABICA". The client requested that a 900m2 warehouse be renovated and a custom-made gigantic roasting machine be installed. We planned a theater-like store that would make the most of the vast space while showcasing the gigantic roastery. A stage was set up at the back of the store that could be seen from any seat, and the roasting machine, which is the main attraction, was placed majestically in the center. The bean cellar, which is the symbol of "%ARABICA", surrounds it, livening up the main attraction. The store is also home to the excellent baristas of "%ARABICA", who act as an orchestra. A U-shaped kitchen counter was set up in the center of the store, and pleasant sounds were created to resonate throughout the store along with the baristas' brilliant performance. In order to allow customers to enjoy the live feeling of these two main attractions from anywhere in the store, we created a large pillar-free atrium and arranged the seats around it. The main seating area is made up of box seats separated by sheer curtains. Considering the Saudi Arabian people's concern about the distance between men and women, these seats are laid out in two tiers on both sides of the atrium. There are also bench seats around the kitchen counter where you can watch the barista right in front of you, and counter seats with a view of the whole store, allowing a variety of seating options to suit different customer demographics. Comfortable light pours in through the perforated metal from the atrium ceiling. These features have created a store where customers can enjoy delicious coffee and a theater-conscious concept design and production with all five senses, while making the most of the bright and open space.
