% Arabica Kuwait Al Jahra Drive Thru

for Arabica International Limited
Dec.2025 / Kuwait

For a store with glass covering the entire front of its seating area, providing an outdoor view and offering a cozy, private atmosphere might seem like conflicting goals. Covering the glass surface with pipe curtains creates both an unobstructed view and a moderately semi-private space, simultaneously fulfilling these opposing elements. Randomly staggering the pitch creates a natural rhythm and gives the impression of lace curtains swaying in the breeze.

The pipe curtains also function as partitions and connect to the furniture, creating a unified feel throughout the space. They moderately block direct sunlight while still allowing light to enter, casting delicate, slender shadows from the pipes onto the interior. These shadows constantly shift, creating a pleasant rhythm within the space throughout the day and enhancing the experience for guests enjoying their coffee.
