Eco-Cem In The Design Brew At Starbucks
Starbucks, which aims to achieve LEED certification for all new, company-owned stores globally, has developed 4 new design concepts. Eco-Cem, available through CaraGreen, is specified in three of the four designs. Each new and renovated store worldwide will use one of these four themes: Heritage, Artisan, Regional Modern, and Concept Store.
Coverings Etc, makers of Eco-Cem, recently visited a newly renovated South Beach Starbucks to see the Artisan design firsthand. Artisan stores celebrate simple materials like exposed steel beams, masonry walls, and hand-polished woodwork to create the feel of a creative gathering place. Eco-Cem Windsor Grey, composed of cement and recycled wood pulp, is installed as a wainscot throughout the sales area. The installation was simple; it was screwed to the wall with black drywall screws and a piece of cold rolled steel angle iron is used as a top trim.
