"Flowers are born from manure" sang the timeless Fabrizio De Andrè to explain in a genuine way how from the most unthinkable often they can be generated new items. In recent months it seems to be the containers that have captured the attention of many architects who are there recycle, they transform them and there reinventano in an original and never banal way.
We had already talked about, for example, the tiny house built in just three days or old containers become student apartments in South Africa. But also, of the Pavilion of the Principality of Monaco at Expo 2015 built using metal boxes.
A Buenos Aires the architect Marianna Flombaum he did more, filling an unsightly heap of iron in the corner of the desires of the palate: a creperie what is needed 16 variety several of French crepes. There are for all tastes, those desserts stuffed with fresh fruit, nuts and the classic Argentine dulce de leche (similar to caramel) and those salads available in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian versions.
Urban Crepe, this is the name of the restaurant located at Arcos District Premium Outlet, a shopping center born in a former railway area of the Argentine capital, it looks like a gem. Just built two months, it has a small but well equipped kitchen that can accommodate up to four people.
Taking advantage of the originality of the place, where the existing shops had already been obtained from the brick vaults, the architect Flombaum put his ideas in order, creating a truly unique result.
“I had to design an airtight, durable and resistant place - he says - so I was inspired by the British industrial backdrop and by the drive to give something old a second life. In contrast to the contemporary aesthetic, I thought a green wall could add a bit of freshness ”.
And indeed, the rear wall Urban Crepe is just a vertical garden in shades of purple and green that has a system of automatic irrigation. Many pockets filled with plants add that extra touch to an environment studied in detail.
Customers can eat crepes while strolling or sitting on traditional-inspired stools or seats Paraguayan drawings. A winning idea to the point that the managers of the Urban Crepe plan to open other 3 similar places. That is not the beginning of a real turnaround sustainable?
