STOREFRONT FAÇADE

The store’s façade is created with locally created red bricks in the shape of half circles to create the illusion of the many waves found on Bali’s famous beaches. The exterior appears to move to passersby on Sunset Boulevard as they drive past the storefront, and combines modern building techniques with traditional Balinese architecture for an east-meets-west design. The design is carried into the interior of the store at the core bar where baristas handcraft favorite Starbucks beverages.
