With a commitment to green construction that is not only fashionable in the world context but has also become a fundamental pillar in the philosophy of current architecture, the international chain Starbucks has launched a pilot project in the city of Denver, Colorado, in the United States, it is a designed place, built and operated on this concept.
The new shop of this renowned cafeteria goes hand in hand with the care and conservation of the environment and animals: in its premises there is no leather chair, nor CD for sale.
It is a completely prefabricated establishment that has Leed certification and operates under the drive-thru system (self-service with the car).
The building is a construction of 500 square meters manufactured and delivered through articulated trucks with a sustainable construction model, because being prefabricated helps to save on the resources used to create the core of the building.
With this new proposal, Starbucks answers questions that they have been trying to solve for a long time, such as how to achieve market growth while reducing the environmental impact of each store? How to create a standardized model that can be customized, depending on its location?
This store model will enable the company to reduce its carbon footprint and penetrate markets that are much smaller, in cities with overpopulation or within institutions.
