Descoberta是一家当代咖啡馆，旨在促进相遇，占据了塞阿拉州福塔莱萨市历史悠久的本菲卡区的一个仓库。正如它的名字所说，这个空间是一个 “发现”。它位于一条小巷的尽头，紧邻联邦大学校园。这座建筑已经有了历史，它是一个印刷厂，一个停车场，一个仓库，我们决定采取的原则是保持所有以前存在的结构，并在大的有顶的开放空间工作。
Descoberta is a contemporary café, designed to foster the encounter, occupying a warehouse in the historic Benfica district, in Fortaleza, Ceará. As its name says, the space was a “discovery”. It is at the end of a cul-de-sac, next to the Federal University campus. The building already had a history, it was a printing shop, a parking lot, a warehouse, and we decided to adopt the principle of maintaining all the previously existing structure and working on the large covered open space.
这个项目是在这样的概念下诞生的：将这个完全封闭、没有通风的干旱建筑改造成一个令人愉快和舒适的空间。我们的工作是打开建筑，使其与街道融合。我们拆除了部分屋顶，以捕捉更多的自然光，产生更多的空气流通，并挪用了棚子的宽度和右脚，以创造一个能够拥抱人们与咖啡的第一次视觉接触的外墙。室内设计的关键点是中央柜台。它与整个服务室相连接，使团队能够始终关注顾客的需求。U “形柜台的设计是为了在现场执行。工作台架在结构性的砖石和空心元素上，除了具有美感之外，还为正在工作的人保持了空气的通透性。
The project was born under the concept of transforming the arid building, completely closed and without ventilation, into a pleasant and cozy space. Our job was to open the building and integrate it with the street. We removed part of the roof to capture more natural light and generate more air circulation and appropriated the width and the right foot of the shed to create a facade capable of embracing people from the first visual contact with the coffee. The key point of the interior design was the central counter. It connects with the entire service room, allowing the team to always be attentive to customers. The “U” shaped counter was designed to be executed on the spot. The workbench rests on structural masonry and hollow elements, which in addition to having an aesthetic appeal, maintains air permeability for those who are working.
为了使用天然材料，整个工业地板被修复和平整。从入口到大棚的底部，设计了一条液压瓦片，以划定生产和服务空间，确保整个柜台的正面保持自由流通。此外，在墙壁上，使用了当地的和手工制作的饰面。最后，我们可以说，Descoberta咖啡馆是街道尽头的惊喜，这个空间整合了那些可能只是路过并坐在人行道上的人，坐在被设计成自行车架的长椅上的人，或者是那些来到这里并在一个既宽敞又舒适的空间里喝咖啡的人，他们被植物和美味所包围。
In order to use natural materials, the entire industrial floor was restored and leveled. From the entrance to the bottom of the shed, a strip of hydraulic tile was designed to delimit the production and service space, ensuring that the entire front of the counter remains free for circulation. In addition, on the walls, local and artisanal finishes were used. Finally, we can say that Descoberta Café is the surprise at the end of the street, a space that integrates and contributes to the scenario of those who may be just passing by and sitting on the sidewalk, on a bench designed to also be a bicycle rack, or for who came to enter and drink their coffee in a space that is both spacious and cozy, surrounded by plants and delicacy.
