Paréntisis, speciality coffee

This coffee shop combines specialty coffee with artisanal pastry.
It represents a pause within the day—a space to stop, breathe, and reconnect. What matters lies within the parentheses (): the moment one allows for oneself.

From branding to architecture, the entire project revolves around the idea of contained calm, a contemporary refuge within the urban rhythm.

The target audience was conceived as young professionals and students, seeking a modern, warm, and aesthetically refined space where people can also go to work while enjoying a coffee.

Its visual identity is built on a soft, natural palette: pastel green and blue, nude tones, light wood, and chocolate, evoking serenity and freshness. Simple geometric shapes (circles, arches, parentheses) are translated both into the graphic universe and the spatial design, suggesting containment and balance.

The corner location takes advantage of its dual orientation to express two urban rhythms: the avenue—active and dynamic—where the more open façade is located, and the quieter street, where the project retreats and becomes more introspective, giving rise to areas for pause, coworking, and gathering.

Arches appear in the design of openings, furniture, and carpentry details, reinforcing the brand narrative. Interior landscaping introduces freshness and life.

Every design decision, from the proportion of light to the texture of a table, contributes to building that sense of refuge amid movement.
