Interior Design

A drive-thru cafe in the heart of Miami's revitalized Miami Modern district, designed to embrace the past while savoring the present. Nestled on the site of a historic 1950s motel, the design draws inspiration from the surrounding mid-century architecture while blending with Starbucks’ signature style.

Guided by the architecture of the remaining end-cap buildings, the interior layout effortlessly follows the building's unique footprint. A curved storefront along the main facade and a slender footprint required special consideration to maximize the use of the interior space. The bar is located opposite the storefront to create an unobstructed view into the store and prioritize guests’ comfort with seating along the windows.
