Outsourcing of non-core competencies has become a driving factor of many corporate & SMME type businesses. Kopi-K@t is to directly compete with current leading copy service providers within the market place by implementing an architectural brand language, instantly recognisable in its colour and building form.

The brief required that the facility or store become the ‘selling tool’ and therefore should capture the entire business concept of Kopi-K@t. The theme of “digital space & high-tech” is to be felt by prospective customers in the use of materials such as aluminium, stainless steel and glass.

The concept allowed for a facility to be implemented on a stand alone site or implemented into a shopping mall environment. Transparency and the use of translucent and rear illuminated wall panels enhance the ‘photo lab’ feel. The use of the bright brand colour orange is offset by utilising stainless steel and highly polished surfaces. Indirect lighting, floor lighting and bright graphics reinforce the clean minimalist ‘high-tech’ environment of the technological age.
