    The design approach focuses on the premise of minimal intervention while respecting a limited budget. A tiled wall creates a background for the restaurant’s activities. From this element, a graphic concept is developed, combining entire and ½ tiles – as the São Paulo’s iconic sidewalks. This pattern establishes the restaurant’s visual identity and communication, being repeated throughout the project.

   All the furniture was designed using materials and dimensions that are commonly used in industrial kitchens. With a compact interior, two linear stainless steel counters organize the space, accommodating storage, service, preparation and customer service functions.

   The exterior ½ square bench reinforces this dynamic of shared functions and spaces. The food and it’s preparation are celebrated, much like in family lunches – from where many of the restaurant’s recipes come from.
