This % Arabica coffee shop design has been designed by the B.L.U.E. Architecture Studio in Shanghai to provide ample area for creating drinks in what is otherwise a compact retail space. Measuring in at 538 square feet, the coffee shop features a U-shaped glass box design that helps to blur the lines between the indoor and outdoor spaces to maximize its feeling of airiness. This is further enhanced with a small garden in the front that helps to integrate a touch of green into the storefront that would otherwise be clad only in concrete.
