Arabica Roastery is exhibiting for the first time at U-Venues, a complex located in the heart of New Cairo. Located in North Africa, where the Nile River flows through the country, Egypt is a vast desert area dotted with ancient ruins. While the country's history and culture remain strong, modern urban development is also progressing. The space was designed with a concept inspired by the idea of "piling up."Save this picture!Save this picture!To express the irregular landscape of the quarry throughout the entire space, limestone rocks modularized into 800mm are stacked in a stair-like manner from the roasting room and coffee counter to the seating area. This creates an organic flow and varying height differences, resulting in a comfortable space with balanced sight lines.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!In addition, while the barista, roasting machine, and jute bags are symbolically presented with a luminescent membrane on the entire surface, the seating area is contrasted by surface luminescence limited only to the benches where guests stay.Save this picture!Save this picture!On the entrance floor and niche seating walls, % Arabica's unique hieroglyphic designs, inspired by ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, are incorporated as interior elements, creating a space that combines traditional elements with contemporary expression.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officePublished on March 13, 2025Cite: "% Arabica Egypt Cairo Roastery / no.10 NOMURA Co., Ltd." 13 Mar 2025.
