% Arabica Changzhou MixC, Changzhou – China

Project description

Changzhou, known as the ‘Pearl of Jiangnan,’ is an ancient city that boasts a rich history and stunning natural beauty. Nestled in the heart of Changzhou, the new % Arabica store draws inspiration from the city’s traditional architecture, featuring elements reminiscent of the surrounding towers. The store is encased in a curtain wall of glass, with a series of light rings giving a symbolic impression to its surroundings.
Above the circular counter in the center of the store, the iconic % signs are suspended as if fluttering in mid-air, shining impressively. Surrounding the counter are various seating arrangements, with the most coveted spot being the elevated seating area accessed via steps from the floor. Furnished with plush sofas, this special seating area offers a perfect vantage point to savor a delightful cup of coffee while enjoying the enchanting scenery of Changzhou City.
