An old house in Porto Alegre gave space to a charming coffee shop inspired in the japanese and scandinavian architecture.
With a fairly tight deadline, the challenge was to transform the residencial atmosphere into a coffee shop. The store was divided in three spaces: At the entrance, the deck with a shareable table gives an informal feel that allows huge contact with the outside and the street landscape. The salient features of the internal lounge are the pine panel that, through a strip around the tables transforms itself into the main volume: the counter and the showcase. At the back, the second lounge keeps the same panel language, priorizing large tables often used for events and meetings. The existing walls had created recesses that provided more privacy to the ambient.
The language of the project, developed alongside the creation of the brand’s visual identity, allowed a final result in harmony with the products of the coffee shop and the minimalist tone in all details.
