Starbucks Coffee

Short Pump Town Center
11800 West Broad Street 
Richmond, VA 23233

Clerestory windows and a curtain wall of glass window and door fenestrations span the length of the front facade.  The exterior roof feature acts as a shelf to shade the store from direct sunlight.

The interior lighting features include changes in ceiling heights, can fixtures, track lighting, and pendent fixtures.  The can fixtures are used to give a sufficient amount of overall lighting throughout the space.  The track lighting is used to highlight specific features including menus and artwork.  The pendent lights are included for ambiance.


The lighting in this space creates a warm and inviting ambiance, which is well suited for the coffee shop atmosphere they are projecting.  The lighting is an extension of the design they aimed to create with the warm color tones and rich texture used throughout the space.
