Kadikoy Istanbul, Turkey
Each day, dozens of ferries crisscross Istanbul’s Bosphorus Strait, shuttling passengers east and west between Asia and Europe. Watch the hustle and bustle of these passages from the rooftop deck of the three-story Kadikoy Starbucks store on the eastern (Asia) side of the straight. The store takes inspiration from the aesthetic of the boats and the ferry buildings, with local marble, brass details, terrazzo flooring and a teak-like iroko wood.
