“The new % Arabica store in Abu Dhabi is located in Khalifa Plaza. With large windows opening to the exterior, the space is designed to reduce solar radiation through floor-to-ceiling wooden louvers. These movable vertical slats can rotate to control the amount of sunlight entering the store, adapting to different times of day.

Reclaimed wood is used for the louvers, supporting circular economy practices while adding warmth and texture to the space. At the back, a softly backlit curved counter serves as a glowing focal point, guiding the customer’s eye through the store.

At the front, a custom-designed seating area, featuring armchairs and a built-in bench, offers a comfortable space for customers to relax and enjoy % coffee.”
