Our major goal was to increase the capacity and the quality of books, records and CD storage and exhibition, of the “Desculpe a Poeira” (Sorry for the Dust), a second-hand book store within ten years of existence.

The place has the same inner volume as a container, 50 m³; alongside an area of 18.6m² (3m x 6.2m), and a ceiling height of 2.72m. So, its layout was optimized to ensure perimetral circulation around the central bookcase, promoting the book storage gaining in all the walls and planned furniture. In total, it was possible to obtain 155 linear meters for the exhibition, and yet enable the addition of a working table at the backward, diametral opposite to the entrance. The entrance has an iron frame door, emulating the old commercial traditional facades of São Paulo with its gates in iron and glass.
