Introduction

Situated in São Paulo’s Pinheiros neighborhood, Boloteca is a bakery business specializing in cakes. Mana arquitetura took on the task of renovating the store, aiming to reflect the brand’s new identity and its core values, which center around the joy of simple moments and the communal enjoyment of cake.

Reflecting Brand Identity

The renovation sought to encapsulate Boloteca’s essence, emphasizing the importance of shared experiences and the pleasure of savoring cake with friends and family. The design aimed to evoke feelings of warmth and familiarity, inviting customers to indulge in the simple pleasures of life.

Efficient Execution

With a tight deadline of just ten days for the project, the choice of materials was crucial. Reclaimed vintage tiles, hand-applied wall textures, and a cement overlay on the floor were selected not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their suitability for the rapid construction schedule. This ensured that the renovation could be completed on time without compromising on quality.

Embracing Local Culture

Drawing inspiration from the surrounding neighborhood, the design incorporated vintage elements sourced from nearby thrift shops. The plate wall, adorned with vintage pieces, pays homage to the area’s cultural heritage while adding a touch of nostalgia to the interior space.

Conclusion

Mana arquitetura’s renovation of Boloteca Store exemplifies a harmonious blend of design aesthetics and practical considerations. By capturing the essence of Boloteca’s brand identity and infusing the space with warmth and charm, the renovated store provides a welcoming environment for customers to enjoy the simple pleasure of indulging in delicious cakes with their loved ones.
