Moment-Driven Architecture

David Daniels is Inspired by Moments for the Starbucks Flagship Store

The new Starbucks Flagship Store designed by David Daniels was driven by moments that would take place between patrons. The designer always uses these thoughts as motivation when piecing together a new look, which turned out well for this store in Orlando, Florida at the Walt Disney Resort.

The interior design is very cozy, with a decent amount of wood accenting throughout. Looking in one could easily confuse this Starbucks with a spacious cabin, with large oak tables and chairs, along with the wood panelling on the walls. The roof is also slightly sloped, giving the design a touch of distinctness from other stores around. Now people can take a break from the rides and pop in for a much-needed caffeine reboot.
