PROJECT DESCRIPTION 

GLORIA JEANS COFFEE SHOP
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT EL. VENIZELOS, SPATA

This coffee shop, of a known international chain, was constructed in the departure area of Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos”.
The store is divided into three functional “zones”. The seating area with a main entrance and development around the back of the store, the product display- counter- cashier zone to the right and towards the store’s limit, and the selling area of products and decoratives on the left side.
The coffee sales area was placed on the facade of the store, in order  to serve both the seated and the passing travelers. This way, a “protected” seating area in the back of the store is created, with sofas, armchairs, tables and chairs and information screens. Behind the coffee counter and in direct connection to it, a storage- office space was created.
At the threshold of the outside seating area with the broader public area of the airport, a space divider furniture in glass and wood was placed, with signage of the store in order to obtain privacy for the outer seating area.
Materials that create a warm atmosphere were used: natural wood on the wall coverings and ceilings, synthetic wood flooring- to meet the strict standards of the airport, off-white marble, graphic compositions in the company’s style and earthy colors.
