Carmo Coffees 总部丨巴西米纳斯吉拉斯丨GPA&A

咖啡自18世纪被引入巴西，并成为巴西经济的支柱产业。对理想种植区的寻找扩展至全国范围，米纳斯吉拉斯州成为了咖啡的主要产区。在这种趋势下，Carmo Coffees以“品质源于我们对整个生产链的尊重和关怀”为前提进行工作，实现这一目标的关键在于正确突出产品并使其成为一种象征。

Arriving here in the mid-18th century, coffee became the main product of the Brazilian economy. The search for the ideal growing region extended throughout the country and made Minas Gerais the main producing region. In this trend, Carmo Coffees has worked with the premise that quality comes from our respect and care for the entire production chain. The most important tool to achieve this is the right placement to mark the product’s presence and make it become a symbol.

基地位于战略区域，需要显著的建筑造型，因此建筑在内向形状的基础之上，使顶部像天窗一样打开，这里白天是阳光的入口，晚上则照射出内部光线。由此产生的氛围必然是庄严的，因为这可能是凝聚这些品质的唯一时刻，展示着肯定咖啡品质态度的重要性。

Located in a strategic area, the place demands a remarkable shape. Hence this inward-looking shape, open at the top like a skylight, an entrance for sunlight during the day and, at night, the expression of inner light. The resulting atmosphere is necessarily solemn, because it is perhaps the only moment when these qualities will be brought together in order to demonstrate the significance of this attitude of affirmation of the quality of our coffee.

人们经由咖啡豆制成的入口进入室内，前厅的地面上绘有产地地图，右侧展示了咖啡这种珍贵商品的不同加工阶段，该区域上方是黄麻纤维墙面，上面有农场、生产者以及英雄的名字。建筑后部，升华的半透明“咖啡豆”是该仪式环境最具象征性的表现。

We enter through a portal made of a perforated plate of beans from the harvest. In the foreground, on the floor, there is the map of the producing region. On the right side, the coffee is presented as a precious commodity in its various stages of processing. Above this, on the jute-covered wall, are the names of the farms, the producers, our heroes. In the background, the sublimated translucent coffee bean is the most symbolic expression of this ritualistic environment.

紧接着，人们可以就此走上去并漫步在博物馆般的隧道中，体验这条讲述着故事并通往大仓库的道路。就在下方的微型区域，人们还可以停下来思考咖啡的加工过程。整个仓库的灯光控制、图像和颜色都增强了这种氛围。在二楼，行政区围绕开放的天井展开，为环境带来了光线与轻松氛围。

From there, we go up and walk in the shade of a museum-like tunnel: the experience of a path that tells the story and leads to the big warehouse. Just below, in the micro-lot area, we can pause and contemplate the coffee processing. The light control, the images, and the colors throughout the warehouse enhance that atmosphere. On the second floor, the administrative area is developed around a large open patio, bringing light and relaxation to the environment.
