Ultra-Modern Fast Food Eateries

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This McDonald's Location Has a Golden Facade & a Spiral Staircase

— October 3, 2015 — Art & Design
Rarely do we consider fast food restaurants to be on the cutting edge of interior design, but this McDonald's location in Rotterdam challenges this notion. This modern interior is designed with a golden facade that acts as a background to its iconic golden arches. The facade has a subtle collage of McDonald's customers enjoying themselves.

Furthermore, this McDonald's location's wrap-around windows reveal a luxurious white spiral staircase. The vibrant new structure is in one of Rotterdam's busiest commercial hubs and replaced an old cigar shop. The contemporary building is contrasted against an aging, yet architecturally impressive post office, which perfectly melds traditional and modern styles. Perhaps this contemporary and futuristic interior will be the basis for new McDonald's locations to come.
