ClientDengo Chocolates
Designed to host a chocolate brand, Dengo Chocolates Concept Store is a milestone in sustainability and innovation for the Brazilian architecture and construction. Recreating a chocolate factory in an attractive and didactic way, the 4-story retail was entirely structured in engineered wood. Wood surfaces and vegetation contribute to a feeling of comfort and liveliness in a space where the rustic, authentic and handmade are highlighted. The architecture moves away from the classic mechanized and hostile factory image, offering inviting, playful and educational experiences to the users.
