Contemporary Café Architecture Design

Starbucks, with a rich history that speaks to the brand's lasting appeal, goes beyond celebrating coffee and traditions, but bringing a sense of connection. Starbucks Simpang Ampat, another groundbreaking retail venture by Starbucks, is set to redefine the narrative of cafe buildings in the heart of northern Malaysia and capture the hearts of coffee enthusiasts in the region.

As the behemoth of the coffee industry, Starbucks has long been synonymous with exceptional coffee experiences in Malaysia, boasting a strong and established presence across the nation. Starbucks Simpang Ampat marks a significant chapter in the brand's ambitious journey, introducing a design that transcends the ordinary and aims to provide patrons with a coffee-drinking encounter like never before.

Crafting Vibrant Charm with LYSAGHT® 360 SEAM® and LYSAGHT® SPANDEK OPTIMA™

The café's façade boldly deviates from the retail typology, introducing a captivating and streamlined structure that commands attention. Architectural brilliance is on full display with meticulously articulated well-defined ribs of LYSAGHT® 360 SEAM® and LYSAGHT® SPANDEK OPTIMA™ metal cladding, lending a sophisticated and dynamic ambiance. This rhythmic interplay of the metal cladding not only imparts movement and dynamism to the structure but also serves as a visual cue, guiding patrons into a space where design efforlessly meets delight.

Expertly crafted by NS BlueScope Lysaght Malaysia, an esteemed roofing solution expert, the LYSAGHT® 360 SEAM® roofing profile is an instrumental component of Starbucks Simpang Ampat's enlivened vibrant charm. Its seamless interlocking mechanism ensures a weather-tight envelope, providing resilience against the region's climatic challenges. Beyond its visual appeal, the choice of roofing profile enhances the overall structural integrity, shaping a building that not only captivates the eye but also withstands the test of time.

The roof seamlessly integrates with the café's wall exterior, creating an eye-pleasingly cohesive and unified structure. The use of LYSAGHT® 360 SEAM® along with LYSAGHT® SPANDEK OPTIMA™ for the walling system, enhances the café's captivating façade, creating a visually harmonious exterior that reflects meticulous attention to detail.

COLORBOND® MATT Steel - Distinctive Design Element

To achieve the distinctive dark grey matte allure that defines Starbucks Simpang Ampat, the architects collaborated with roofing solutions expert and turned to COLORBOND® MATT Steel – Eclipse Matt. Supplied by NS BlueScope Malaysia, this premium coated steel materiality adds an element of mystery and elegance to the café's captivating design. The Eclipse Matt hue not only contributes to the café's welcoming ambiance but also sets the stage for a unique and visually striking environment.

Starbucks Simpang Ampat, with its avant-garde presence, is poised to become an icon, inviting patrons to indulge in a unique blend of coffee and architectural splendour.
