I have to echo the previous sentiments – the design is awesome, but if I was the designer I wouldn’t be comfortable with the fact that I helped McDonald’s to appear like something even remotely “green.” It may be too holier-than-thou, yes, but it’s time for designers to increase their awareness about environmental issues, I say.

Have to say though – whoever McDonalds’ PR firm for Amsterdam is, they’re doing hell of a job.

Thanks for posting these amazing images! Really love it! They had already mentioned this Mcvillage project on thecoolhunter.net in a post about a beautiful winery UXUS did, but this is the first time I see the pictures!! It’s really amazing! I’m looking forward to see more of UXUS in the future..

Yeah some Macdonalds in the UK have changed their interiors into swanky green and black sofa type places. However I doubt they will ever alter their awful farming practices.

It does look great. But I agree, it in no way represents the truly awful nature of animal “farming” and indeed perpetuates the lie to children that eating animals is completely normal and natural.

i was so surprised when we moved to Austria to see McDonald’s Cafe’s full of dark wood stained furniture and flooring, bright white walls and actually edible food. I don’t know about the farming practices (the EU does have some way more environmentally responsible policies than the US and Canada) but it’s safe to say the design is not made up solely of sunshine yellow and Ronald McDonald Red! great post by the way :)
