Starbucks transforms a traditional ‘hanok’ home into its newest outpost in South Korea

Starbucks announced the opening of a special new location on October 20th, 2022 in Daegu, South Korea. The beautiful store was created by transforming a traditional Korean-style house known as ‘Hanok’, which has been in existence for more than a hundred years. The exterior and the interior of the home have been designed in a traditional style.

Designer: Starbucks

The entire space is marked by an exposed wooden framework, tiled gabled roof, and ornamental detailing which are placed on top of a brick foundation. A lot of the original features have been preserved and maintained such as the roof, rafters, columns, floors, and beams. The cafe is an interesting and beautiful mix of modern and traditional elements.

Once you enter the cafe, you are completely enthralled by the fact that it accurately mimics a Hanok. The open and spacious interiors have dry gardens incorporated into the floorings, with the rooms opening up into a serene outdoor garden. It occupies around 7000 square feet and can seat about 120 people. Quite a few of the seats have been positioned on the parquet floor of the space, which provides stunning views of the outdoor garden.
