We have recently completed a pioneering Starbucks drive-through pod unit at Willow Tree Lane Retail Park in Yeading. This marks the debut of such a venture in the UK, setting a new standard for convenience and sustainability.

Starbucks has expressed a strong commitment to eco-friendly practices and this new unit is a testament to that pledge. The design incorporates a host of innovative sustainability features, including electric vehicle charging points to cater for the growing number of EV drivers. Additionally, a living green roof has been integrated into the development, contributing to biodiversity and providing natural insulation.

The architectural design is a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality, with a focus on landscaping that complements the surrounding environment. The use of natural lighting is maximised to enhance the ambiance while reducing energy consumption. The entire structure is engineered to achieve optimal energy efficiency, minimising the carbon footprint of the establishment.

This project presented us with a remarkable opportunity to collaborate closely with Starbucks, allowing us to bring their vision to life swiftly and efficiently. The construction was completed in less than six months, a testament to our team’s expertise and dedication.

The newly constructed unit is a modern ‘glass box’ design, a sleek and transparent structure that allows for an immersive Starbucks experience. This innovative concept is anticipated to become a significant part of Starbucks’ expansion strategy, with plans to introduce similar units across the country.

We are proud to have been instrumental in this groundbreaking project and look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on the community and the environment. Starbucks’ forward-thinking approach is sure to inspire other brands to follow suit and we are excited to be at the forefront of this sustainable revolution in retail design and customer experience.
