Gelateria

This Parisian gelateria is imagined as a small urban theatre, where the making of ice cream becomes a daily performance. From the street, the wide opening reveals the counter and the work behind it, inviting passersby to slow down, look in, and step inside. The space is organized as a single, fluid scene—compact, legible, and lively—where customers, makers, and flavors coexist in close proximity.

Warm wood, white brick, and glossy blue tiles create a joyful yet balanced material palette, blending craftsmanship with a contemporary spirit. Color, graphics, and framed posters punctuate the walls, adding rhythm and a touch of humor, while the display counter acts as both stage and showcase.

Light shifts with the day: bright and transparent in the afternoon, soft and glowing at night, turning the gelateria into a welcoming beacon on the street. More than a shop, the project is conceived as a place of pause and pleasure—an architectural setting for curiosity, indulgence, and shared moments.
