Designer's Note
“Nestled along the Persian Gulf, % Sharjah Al Heera Beachfront Kiosk orchestrates the transition between indoor and outdoor realms. As an integral part of the coastal ecosphere, its floor-to-ceiling glazing maximizes immersion in the cloudless sky, sparkling sands, and distinctive Arabian light. A sophisticated folding glass door system adapts effortlessly to the climate, transitioning between fully open and closed states to induce sea breeze and natural light, enriching the sensory tapestry of one’s flavorful cup of Arabica coffee.
The iconic % Arabica x Studio Precht kiosk adds a lively touch to the interior, with acrylic materials that appear especially clear and ethereal in this unique light. Seating zones avoid the usage of rigid barriers and utilize lush tropical plants to create semi-private enclaves. Enhancing experiential continuity from the beach to the store, the curated chair selection prioritizes ergonomic comfort, with textured fabrics enticing tactile engagement as guests settle in. The coastal-inspired color palette desert gold echoing the beach, ocean blue mirroring the Gulf, and accents of date palm green extends to these seating pieces, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere that hopes to evoke a seamless harmony between the vibrant coastline and modern hospitality.”
