The gastronomic site designed by Diego Raposo + Arquitetos , from the CASACOR cast , located in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, was designed for a young couple who are passionate about gastronomy and connecting with nature . They started the restaurant by hosting guests at home and, after a few years , they realized that they would need a space to expand their activities.

From the beginning of the creative process, the architect sought to keep the design language simple, seeking not to lose the essence of the place . The architecture of the central pavilion was maintained, and elements and connections to create a new space were added.

The internal layout prioritizes the entry of natural light and brings the view of the neighboring pastures inside.

As a central meeting point and the perfect place for an aperitif, an island that houses the restaurant's aromatic vegetable garden was created.

When choosing materials, they prioritize finishes that convey simplicity , the value of country living and comfort. The architect chose to recreate a rustic texture on the walls that reminds us of old Brazilian wattle and daub houses .

The use of broken stones on the floor and raw cement further reinforce this idea of an environment with memories of the past.
