Commercial Axis

With a conceptual axis that defines movement through the space, Martins Architecture Office refurbished an old bakery in Northern Portugal, adding white elements.

Martins Architecture Office refurbished a 32 year old bakery in Guimarães, Portugal, giving it a new contemporary look. Commercial Axis refers to the design, based on a commercial movement over the marble limit which contains the products index.

 

Through that line, the space was organized on a perpendicular axis from the entrance, in order to improve two moments of perception – the generic display on the bottom wall shelves, and a detailed approach with three sets of products: bread, food and cakes. The same double speed analysis was made for the employee space. The project starts from commercial strategies and specific equipments that the owners already had and wanted to adapt.
