Architect and Sr. Design Manager — Seattle, WA
The design of this store takes a contextural look at the blend of the historic and the modern details that make-up the award winning Stary Browar Brewery and Mall complex. Careful examination of the metal and stone work were considered in the design to create a seamless transition from the common space in the mall into the Starbucks environment. This smooth transition from mall courtyard to store interior also helps minimize the small perceived scale of this awkward lease space. “I am convinced that Poznanians will adopt this new coffeehouse and its warm and friendly atmosphere by spending many hours of unforgettable conversation over a cup of top quality coffee.” - Elizabeth Ceitel, CEO of Centre for Art and Business Old Brewery
