tukwila, a suburb of seattle, is home to starbucks' reclamation drive-thru and walk-up store, the coffeehouse giant's first space made from
four refurbished shipping containers. the concept behind the design was influenced by the company imports of the coffee and tea goods from abroad,
all transported from across the globe in such cargo containers. 'reclamation drive-thru was inspired by a desire to help keep items used
throughout our supply chain, like old shipping containers, out of the waste stream
,' states anthony p., global store design senior manager of starbucks.
the volumes offer a total area of 450-square feet for all of the service and retail components, with an additional small 20-foot container used for garbage,
recycling and storage. the shop speaks of starbucks' commitment to reducing their overall environmental footprint, moving towards a greener more sustainable business.
the project has now sparked discussion within starbucks on ways in which the brand can extend the application of shipping containers to
prefabrication projects or for exterior furniture and accessories to be used at various locations in the future.
