背景。Roveta，位于基多市北部中心的Torre Alianza，是一个咖啡实验室。一个不寻常的空间，由一个面积为20平方米的玻璃三角组成，位于城市商业区，专门为希望品尝特色咖啡的上班族服务。

Background. Roveta, located in Torre Alianza in the north-center of the city of Quito, is a coffee lab. An unusual space that consists of a glass triangle with an area of 20m2, situated in a commercial city zone, specifically for office workers looking to taste specialty coffee.

项目。客户认为有必要建立一个空间，能够使他们自己的手工咖啡的制作和商业化成为现实，为客户提供一个休息和停留的环境，并能看到周围的良好景观。

Project. The clients saw a necessity to build a space capable of bringing to life the elaboration and commercialization of their own artisanal coffee, providing customers an environment of rest and staying with a good view of the surroundings.

构思。嵌入一个多功能的家具，它被设想为一个单件，同时做所有的事情，作为这个地方的主要想法，因为这个家具实现了准备、服务和存储的功能。Roveta的产品和准备酒吧的所有过程，包括咖啡的烘烤，都在底层展示出来。Roveta的规划是为了让一个人可以在一个空间内完成所有必要的任务。所提到的家具，除了非常实用之外，还产生了一种新的空间感知，在底层、夹层和户外空间之间产生了一系列不同的环境。室外空间呈现为一个露台式的区域，在这里可以找到为客户服务的家具，如一个连续的酒吧，可以洗手，并作为咖啡师的支持。

Idea. Embedding a multipurpose piece of furniture that is conceived as a single piece and that does everything at the same time worked as the main idea for the place, as this furniture fulfills the function of preparation, service, and storage. Roveta’s products and the preparation bar with all its processes, including the coffee’s roasting, are showcased on the bottom floor. Roveta is planned so that a single person can perform all the necessary tasks in a single space. The mentioned piece of furniture, apart from being extremely functional, gives birth to a new perception of space, generating a series of different environments between the bottom floor, the mezzanine, and the outdoor space. The outdoor space is presented as a terrace-type area where furniture for customer service can be found such as a continuous bar that allows hand washing and serves as a support for the baristas.

该项目的基本原则是使用回收材料，这就是为什么6厘米×4厘米的回收松木被用于结构中。该材料之前经过处理，以保证其刚性和耐久性。该建筑系统是基于一系列框架，它们之间通过连续的木板连接，形成一个单一的结构元素。这些木板，除了作为结构元素外，还作为准备咖啡的柜台和存储。Roveta有一个迷你食品叉车，这使得产品从准备区到夹层的调动更加实用。

The project’s fundamental principle was to work with recycled materials, which is why 6cm x 4cm recycled pine wood was used for the structure. The material was previously treated for its rigidity and durability. The construction system is based on a series of frames, joined between them through continuous planks to form a single structural element. The planks, in addition to being structural elements, serve as counters for the preparation of coffee and as storage. Roveta has a mini food forklift, which makes the mobilization of products from the preparation area to the mezzanine more practical.
