STARBUCKS
ROLE: STORE DESIGN MANAGER
NEW YORK, NY
1,000 SF

Located on the ground floor of the newly renovated Citigroup headquarters in lower Manhattan, Starbucks acts as a showpiece to staff and visitors entering the building’s highly trafficked lobby, aptly named Town Square. The goal was to create a unique and elevated design that simultaneously stands out in its context and blends seamlessly with its host. Inspiration is taken from the historic bank vault doors on the upper level of the building, which influence the pattern on the bar front and the rear screen panels, as well as the use of brass throughout. This, combined with dark/warm wood and gold-veined stone counters help to create a brand-forward experience that engages the many patrons of Town Square.
