% Arabica Manila BGC

Cafe

The design for the first Manila BGC store for % Arabica, which has cafes worldwide. While % Arabica cafes are primarily white, each cafe incorporates regional characteristics, so this futuristic space was designed to represent BGC’s rapid economic growth. Located in a shopping mall, this cafe has a narrow entrance and an elongated interior, so a long cafe counter extending from the entrance to the back was installed to guide traffic into the store. Designed using state-of-the-art 3D modeling technology and then crafted by local metalworkers, the counter combines modern technology and craftsmanship to serve as a symbol of the space.
