Caracol Bar

Intervention in an old warehouse located in Vila Buarque (SP) to implement a bar and a restaurant. The project sought to emphasize the qualities of the pre-existing building combining them with new structures designed especially for the place: bar, kitchen, service areas, bleachers and terrace.

 

In addition to these interventions, we tried as much as possibleto keep the original characteristics of the original building. The roof was just remodeled; the old ceramics of the walls, kept; as well as the original façade of the building, to which we just added a new recessed window, creating an entrance space.

 

The 10m long alicante red marble stand incorporates both the preparation of the drinks and the performance of the DJ and gives the identity of the internal space of the bar while organizing the flows between the entrance, the consumption area and the dancefloor. The concrete block kitchen isolates the interior acoustically while it makes the transition with the outer space in the back of the plot. In the back, the bleachers hide the toilets and the stock, and give access to a new raised terrace that opens into the interior of the block, creating an exceptional outdoor space under the mango tree of the neighboring plot.
