架构师提供的文本描述。这座建筑旨在为米纳斯吉拉斯博物馆和公共档案馆提供一座新的咖啡厅，从明智地利用这两座建筑之间的自由空间开始，这是19世纪末新首都建筑委员会建造的重要建筑实例。该建筑群最初的目的是为参议院和财政部长提供住所。

Text description provided by the architects. The building designed to house a new café for the Museum and the Public Archives of Minas Gerais starts with the judicious use of the free space between the two buildings which are important architectural examples built by the Building Committee of the new capital at the end of the 19th century. The complex's initial purpose was to house the Senate and the Finance Minister's residence.

为了保护这两座建筑之间的自由区域，咖啡厅部分位于地下。新空间上的混凝土楼板配置了一个长满草的广场，在视觉和功能上都能很好地整合现有建筑，提供更好的公共空间重新设计所导致的楼层间的相互访问和流动。

With the intention of preserving the free area between the two buildings, the café is partially underground. The concrete slab over the new space configure a grassy square that best integrates existing buildings both visually and functionally, providing better mutual access and flows between the floors leveled by this re-designing of the public space.
