An existing house on its own lot from 1950 is intervened to house the ice cream parlor and cafeteria in a neighborhood located north of the city. The premise of the project aims to generate spaces of different scales and configurations. For this, 5 solid objects are proposed, located as a reference and as icons that are recognized through a route that allows them to be discovered. Each of these has a specific materiality that refers to its need but they all share the same tone/color that makes them stand out in a completely neutral space.
1- Atrium: material block to be on the front exterior.
2- Prisma: main coffee ordering and production bar.
3- Papelitos: living room cover with overhead light entrances.
4- Grid: transparent reticulated pergola.
5- Grandstand: exterior stairs to be in the background.
