The relationship between Starbucks and Vectorworks started in 2017, when a team of 25 designers migrated from Autodesk. With this change, the Europe, Middle East and Africa design team transformed the way the business designs and opens cafés all around EMEA.
To this day, no two Starbucks stores are the same. Their designers have the freedom to create bespoke, unique spaces, beautifully designed and specifically tailored to their communities. With extremely ambitious year-to-year growth plans, the task to open stores around EMEA wouldn’t be possible without Vectorworks, the one and only software their in-house team uses.
From test fits to renders, tender packs, technical drawings & site specifications, they heavily rely on the different functions the software provides to create world class designs efficiently. Led by an ambitious business growth agenda, they’re excited to share the different processes and steps they take to ensure a rapid turnaround of designs in a fast-paced industry.
