At Pató Cafeteria, the ground level retains functions of ordering and take-out, customer restroom and store, while the basement level serves as an industrial kitchen, bakery, storage, employees rest area and locker room. The store is located at the corner of a typical Brasília commercial building and has the marquee as its main seating area, facing the neighborhoods green spaces as a generous porch like it’s usually done at restaurants, bars and cafes in Brasília.
The façades are covered in brick subway tiles, a reference to the facade of the commercial block where the store is located, a 1960’s building covered in bricks, while also making an homage to the artist Athos Bulcão who was responsible for designing the façade of the public school nearby, also in black and white tiles, as a way for the recently-opened café to create a sense of familiarity and belonging to this neighborhood. Black and white dissolve into each other as a nod to the mixture of coffee and milk, the primordial gesture in the preparation of coffee beverages. Inside the store, the colors and textures emulate those of the café’s surroundings, specifically the green areas of the “superquadra” and nearby residential buildings.
The design brings together traditional and modern elements in order to create a sense of coziness and nostalgia while keeping a connection to Asa Norte, one of the original neighborhoods of the modernist city of Brasilia.
At the basement level, the kitchen’s work stations are divided as storage, preparation, baking, cleaning of utensils and hard cleaning, in a clockwise way around a central room for employees rest, meetings and administrative works by the café’s owners, with glass panels that allowed for a clear communication between staff and also providing the staff with a spacious and illuminated work environment, while also allowing for guests to visit the kitchen and learn about the café's preparation process.
