DRM Arquitectura Designs the Veneciana Canning Ice Cream Drive Thru

— December 14, 2024 — Art & Design
Local design studio DRM Arquitectura has designed the new Veneciana Canning Ice Cream Drive Thru which is a space-framed parlour. It is lifted on top of an inverted V-shaped basis and this is nestled in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Veneciana Canning Ice Cream Drive Thru can be accessed on a busy roadside location just by National Route No. 58.

The team was challenged with creating a calm space in a very busy area. The team explains the design process, noting "The ground floor proposes the dissolution of the building's limits both as a commercial strategy, aiming not to create barriers of entry and as a strategy to anchor to an environment with attributes valuable to the landscape, which can be incorporated as part of the building’s architecture."
