Starbucks Building Design

I designed a new model for Starbucks. This version is designed to fix certain, pre-existing issues such as poor lighting, lack of space for wheelchair users, and mediocre aesthetics for some particular stores.

Step 1: Collect Data

Collected data on which designs and structures the customers prefer.

Step 2: Sketch and Brainstorm

Came up with preliminary sketches, physical models, and CAD models using blender (building models) and Fusion 360 (chair and table models).

Step 3: Further Design

Drew more sketches following the initial sketches. The designs followed the aforementioned ideas.

Step 4: Plan Sketch

Finalized the design and created plan sketches for all 3 floors. The website used to create this was: https://www.roomsketcher.com/

Step 5: Making Physical & CAD Model

The pictures show the progression of the physical and CAD model.

Materials used for physical model: styrene board, clear plastic sheet (plexiglass), wood, fake grass, and other basic tools for fabrication.

Step 6: CAD Model Results

Model in-context: Presents how the Starbucks design model is going to look like in a city setting.

Step 7: Physical Model Results

The finished version of the physical model. It was shot in different angles and lightings to get a holistic view of how the model looks like.

Step 8: 3D Printed Model

3D printed the building by printing 3 separate parts - 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floor, then assembled them together.
