The Coffee Comendador

Design: Studio Boscardin.Corsi Arquitetura

Location: Comendador Araújo Street, downtown Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil

The Coffee Comendador was inspired by simplicity and Japanese minimalism, the coffee reinvents the downtown area, changes people’s routine and opens up new possibilities. In Comendador Araújo Street, downtown Curitiba, Brazil, the coffee shop was incorporated into the entrance of a restaurant, embedded as a piece in a puzzle.

With a volume with front and side transparency, in its glazed side, the coffee breathes and exposes, revealing its interior, with a new dynamic of service and visibility. The small internal area of 4.75 sqm was the big challenge, proposed with the functionality so that up to two baristas can work simultaneously. Access is through the side glass door and the storage area, with 1.15sqm, is behind the service.

The repetition of the metallic and woody slats, both vertically, added to the checkerboard ceramic grid, give dynamics and movement. Composed of simple materials, the illuminated cube stands out, demarcating the entrance, protecting it on rainy days and shining at nightfall.
