为米纳斯吉拉斯州博物馆和公共档案馆设计的建筑，首先是明智地利用了两座建筑之间的自由空间，这两座建筑是新首都建筑委员会在19世纪末建造的重要建筑范例。该建筑群的最初目的是容纳参议院和财政部长的住所。
The building designed to house a new café for the Museum and the Public Archives of Minas Gerais starts with the judicious use of the free space between the two buildings which are important architectural examples built by the Building Committee of the new capital at the end of the 19th century. The complex’s initial purpose was to house the Senate and the Finance Minister’s residence.
为了保留这两座建筑之间的自由区域，咖啡馆部分位于地下。新空间上方的混凝土板配置了一个草地广场，在视觉上和功能上都能最好地整合现有的建筑，提供更好的相互通道，并在通过这个重新设计的公共空间平整的楼层之间流动。
With the intention of preserving the free area between the two buildings, the café is partially underground. The concrete slab over the new space configure a grassy square that best integrates existing buildings both visually and functionally, providing better mutual access and flows between the floors leveled by this re-designing of the public space.
一个新的混凝土块，具有垂直循环和通往博物馆管理员大楼的功能，完成了广场周围和谐的建筑构成。
