The inspiration comes from far away – from St Mark's Church in London – but the project created by Adriana Ferraz and Gabriela Hue for SANCAfé, as the name suggests, has the hallmark of São Conrado: vibrant, charming and welcoming. Every detail was designed to bring the comfort and well-being that a coffee break calls for. Tropical prints and elements such as cobogós and traditional tiles, and the use of terracotta tones on the flooring, bring back a certain atmosphere of simplicity. “Our idea was to create a mini temple of connections, a space for meetings and socializing in the neighborhood.”
