%ARABICA, a coffee shop brand originating in Kyoto, has opened its first roastery in U-Venues, a complex located in the heart of New Cairo, a satellite city of Cairo, Egypt. Egypt, located in North Africa through which the Nile River flows, is dotted with ancient ruins across its vast desert landscape. While this region retains a strong sense of history and culture, modern urban development is also progressing daily. Inspired by this unique location and the quarries that produce the pyramids, a symbol of Egypt, the space was concept design using the element of "stacking." To express the irregular landscape of the quarry throughout the space, 800mm square limestone modules were stacked in a staircase-like fashion from the roasting room and coffee counter to the seating area, creating random flow and differences in elevation, resulting in a comfortable space with just the right amount of openness. Furthermore, while the baristas, roasters, and bean bags are symbolically highlighted with a full-surface luminous film, the seating area features surface illumination limited to the benches where guests stay, creating a contrasting space. The entrance floor and the walls of the niche seating areas incorporate original Arabic hieroglyphs, modeled after ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, as interior elements, creating a space that blends traditional elements with modern expression.
