For Those Who Love All Things Green: Minimal Modern Restaurant in Sao Paulo

ByMyProperty Life

There are different ways to add ‘green’ to an interior. Many go down a natural path and usher in green using indoor plants, herbs and succulents. But for those who wish to use paint to add green to an interior, this modern and minimal restaurant in Vila Nova Conceição neighborhood of Sao Paulo, Brazil offers ample inspiration. The redesigned family restaurant uses green in a generous manner with the lower half of every room inside the restaurant being painted in green while the top half is all white. This creates a curated and yet colorful interior with one space flowing into the next.

Torta da Vila Restaurant was designed by PHENOMENA arquitetura keeping in mind both the specific needs of the restaurant, maximization of space and aesthetics that offer customers something unique and refreshing. Materials like concrete and wood have been elegantly intertwined with more polished finishes while lighting inside has been kept minimal and unassuming. Metal chairs and wooden tables add to the unpretentious appeal of this Brazilian restaurant where green is the ultimate winner! [Photography: Manuel Sá]

These are connected by the architectural elements like the hollow concrete blocks in the facade, the thin green steel counter, and the elongated light fixtures. The flow is reinforced with the big openings that not only integrate spaces but also improves lighting and airflow. The new logo was painted with the same green tones on the facade, following the premise of what is essential, as cement, concrete, and wood are used in their raw form…

  • PDC House

    The design strategy of this house is based on a commitment to artisanal constructive honesty, the respect towards natural context in an urban area, and the constant search for a way of inhabiting where material austerity provides spatial quality. The main body of the house is located in the southern boundary of the land, respecting the 3 preexisting fruit trees on the north side and taking advantage of the best ventilation and natural light possible. The program, which includes 2 bedrooms, social area, a family room and services, is condensed in a monolithic block to reduce its footprint. As a main strategy, the upper roof tilts 21 degrees, prioritizing the northern bedroom spaces and reducing the southern service spaces. The subtraction and rotation of a middle segment generates a shift in between the upper floor bedrooms, allowing cross ventilation, as well as the accommodation of rooftop equipment and the plumbing and electrical ducting. In section, the composition allows the circulation of north-south winds, cooling the kitchen by the hot air escape achieved through height differences. The constructive solution contemplates material honesty in all the elements. The concrete walls on ground floor, pured with recycled formwork, give an imperfect finish consistent with the roof’s austerity, but contrasted with the cleanliness and volumetric continuity of the upper floor finish. To reduce economic impact, ceiling and floor finishings and tilings were completely eliminated using bare concrete floors and, in order to express the constructive and structural performance, the roofs use a system of bare concrete joists in combination with vaulted pieces, designed and manufactured using a mold made with local artisan blacksmithing.
