Culto是一家咖啡店，位于老城的Sarandí步行街，蒙得维的亚市历史中心的标志性街道。它所在的地方可以追溯到20世纪初，那是 “美洲瑞士 “的一个高峰和丰富的历史时刻。
Culto is a coffee shop located in the Old City, on the Sarandí pedestrian street, emblematic street of the historic center of the city of Montevideo. The place where it is located dates from the beginning of the 20th century, a historical moment of apogee and abundance in the “Switzerland of America”.
在开始工作的时候，这个地方处于废墟状态，主要的前提是让这个被遗忘的角落拥有以前的亮度。两个概念，”优雅的废墟 “和地下室，被提出来作为项目的轴心，后者是咖啡崇拜的一个象征性元素。围绕着这两个概念，项目被组织起来：保护带有时间流逝痕迹的废墟墙壁，以及时代的马赛克地板，并恢复原有的开口。与这些元素相比，新的元素被添加进来：使用绿色和黄色的锌槽，后者以一种现代的方式模仿当时的古代青铜器。这是为了在留下的废墟和强加的东西–地窖和锌之间产生一种对比。
At the time of starting the work the premises were in a ruinous state, the primary premise was to give that forgotten corner its former brightness. Two concepts, “elegant ruins” and the crypt, were raised as the axes of the project, the latter as a symbolic element of the coffee cult. Around these two conceptual lines the project was organized: conserve the ruinous walls with their marks of the passage of time, as well as the period mosaic floor, and the recovery of the original openings. In contrast to these elements, the new was added: the use of green color and the yellow zinc bath, the latter emulating in a contemporary way the ancient bronzes characteristic of the time. It was sought to generate a contrast, between what was left, the ruins, and what was imposed, the crypt and the zinc.
Culto的内涵包括 “咖啡崇拜”，以加强这个想法，参考了位于历史中心几个街区的耐心之主的地下室，它突出了拱门、蜡烛的供品和带有信徒祈求的条纹墙。墓室依职权进入厕所，被点燃的蜡烛是其底部的墙面上的废墟。家具是专门为这个项目设计的，完全用黄锌处理，用黑色雪尼尔装饰，它的功能是浓缩商业场所想要传达的想法，在那里客户与环境互动，成为寻求的经验的参与者。
Culto comes among other connotations to the “cult of coffee” to strengthen this idea the reference was the Crypt of the Lord of Patience, located a few blocks within the historic center, it highlights the arches, the offerings with candles and the striped walls with the supplications of the faithful. The crypt ex officio access to the toilets, being a lit candle being its bottom the wall in ruins. The furniture was designed specifically for this project, entirely with yellow zinc finish, upholstered in black chenille, the function attributed to it is to condense the ideas that the commercial premises wants to convey, where the client interacts with the context being a participant of the experience sought.
