STARBUCKS Hualian Shop Review

Huilan Store is the first store in Asia built with "containers" Architect Kengo Kuma takes 29 containers that once stopped at the docks of major cities around the world as the main body and stacks them to create a four-story inverted pyramid-shaped building giving the containers new life The hollow space where the containers overlap has a large area of ​​skylights letting sunlight pour in layer by layer just like the sun shining through the woods Sipping coffee in such an atmosphere echoes the characteristics of Hualien as a place that nature particularly favors The interior design of the store also retains the original appearance of the containers and incorporates the bright colors of the Amis people Totems appear in the corners of the store In different container spaces there are slogans such as sharing and reminiscing showing the spirit of Starbucks~

There are many Starbucks in Taiwan that are quite unique. They are different from many Starbucks in mainland China and their services are also quite unique, mainly in terms of decoration. The drinks are slightly different.

Starbucks' reputation is known all over the world. In addition to the delicious coffee, the quality and service attitude are strictly controlled. The decoration and design of each store have also become the target of tourists from all over the world. The first Starbucks in Asia is located in Hualien Huilan Store. It was designed by the famous Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. The design is unique and amazing. The overlapping containers are the resting space. The lighting is good and it does not feel narrow. The overall presentation is remarkable. The lighting effect at night makes Starbucks more eye-catching.

This is the first container Starbucks in Asia. Don’t think it’s just a few containers stacked together. The design was created by the famous Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. I don’t like Japanese people, but I have to admit that the design is unique and feels very comfortable. Needless to say, the coffee of Starbucks is just average, but the lighting in this store is good. Although it is a container conversion, it doesn’t look narrow. The designer should be credited. It is recommended that whether you are a Starbucks fan or not, it is still worth a visit.

Designed by Japanese designer Kengo Kuma, the stacked containers are very unique. I asked the driver to drive here when I was walking on the Longitudinal Valley Line. It was the first time I saw a Starbucks with a drive-through. It is suitable for taking pictures. As for the coffee taste, there is nothing special.
