The Coffee / Gelato Pop-Up Kiosk is designed for urban areas, emphasizing efficient service for coffee and gelato. Its rounded shape is inviting and functional. The project consists of three main modules—A, B, and C—each serving specific needs in the workflow, creating an environment conducive to both customer interaction and operational efficiency.

MODULE A

Module A acts as the main service point, made from painted "Precision Board." It stands 36 inches tall and features a rounded face with a 6-foot radius, making it appear welcoming to customers. A 16-inch extension at a height of 18 inches provides additional seating and storage. This design not only enhances utility but also encourages social interaction in the service space.

MODULE B

Module B functions as the storage area for coffee and gelato supplies. It is strategically designed to promote smooth operational flow, with a service counter that rises 16 inches above the main height. This feature allows staff to serve customers from both sides efficiently, facilitating quick service while keeping the workspace organized.

MODULE C

Similar in size to Module A, Module C focuses on storing gelato. It includes bins and accommodates refrigeration units, ensuring that products remain at the right temperature. This organization within Module C is important for maintaining the quality of the gelato while also contributing to the overall efficiency of the kiosk.

GEODESIC DESIGN

The kiosk employs a six-frequency geodesic design, forming an octahedron shape. This structure is not only strong but also adaptable to various urban settings. The lightweight pipes used for construction enhance the mobility of the kiosk. As a result, it can fit into tight spaces or connect with other units to serve a larger customer base. The attention to detail in this design highlights its practicality while maintaining a cohesive appearance.
