Búlali is a restaurant and bakery located in Lindora, Costa Rica. The area is known for its sprawling residential developments, corporate centers and a diverse gastronomic scene.
Se sitúa en la esquina noroeste del centro comercial Plaza Futura. Las fachadas frontal y laterales están ubicadas frente a la calle principal y a un boulevard peatonal respectivamente. La fachada trasera da hacia la plaza verde interna del centro comercial. El proyecto cuenta con vistas hacia el exterior en todas sus fachadas.
Bulali’s brand concept unites dining, bakery and co-working. As such, the project consists of 3 separate areas that complement each other: restaurant/bakery, product display and shopping, and dining/working. The kitchen/bakery area is situated in the northern sector of the locale, with the bar and ordering desk facing towards the product display zone. Tables and seating are laid out in the terrace and in the interior facing towards a large window pane that gives clients a peek as to how the bakery operates. The south-east corner of the locale is used as a co-working area or a meeting room.
The material palette borrows from an existing Búlali and adds new features. It mixes exposed concrete, colored tiles and wood with metal, glass and tan bricks. Brand identity is also strengthened through murals, decoration and lighting, giving Búlali it’s unique feel.
The project creates a flexible environment where different activities can coexist throughout the day, from having breakfast or picking up a pastry to working or meeting with others. By keeping the bakery visible and opening the space toward the surrounding plaza, the architecture connects the brand’s everyday operations with the experience of its users.
The interior spaces are oriented toward the surrounding pedestrian areas and green plaza.
