Arcaffé Center was a radical development in the domain of leisure coffee houses in Israel. Comprised of a coffee and roasting house, a bakery, a patisserie, an espresso bar and shop, Departing from the conventional small-scale coffee houses, Arcaffé Center opted for a large scale, multi-function environments. The result is a world of "goodies" dispersed around a central sitting area. Cafes are a form of urban theater where the customers are both the actors and the audience. In designing Arcaffé, the various elements act as props where the multiplicity of acts and gestures come together to reveal daily rituals of urban living.
