The design elements are in stark contrast to the few conceptual renderings Disney released for Disney Springs. I can't guess what "neighborhood" this will go in. Disney Springs is supposed to be comprised of an eclectic and "contemporary" mix of shopping, dining and entertainment experiences, so it will have to blend in somewhere.
This appears to be a LEED certified Starbucks that incorporates contemporary sustainable design elements through utilization of green building materials and it appears to be quite spacious, too.
Some parts of that design reminds me so much of my library but on a much smaller scale, of course. I wish Starbucks would have implemented some different materials to break up the concrete exterior but at least it's green. Our library was originally designed to feature a green roof to complete the look. I was so disappointed when this aspect got axed due to budget concerns. I just have to give Starbucks major kudos for the green roof!
I go to Disney to get away from this. I can already see myself, spending hours responding to emails and other work related stuff. I'm happy others will enjoy it and it's very a nice addition to Downtown Disney but I will avoid this place. I'm eager to see what they do with the interior!
