Fika

To have a break during the day and sit down with friends, family or colleagues and together enjoy some coffee (kaffe) and pastries (fikabröd), that is the meaning of the word fika. For Swedes, the fika breaks (fikapaus) are the most important part of the day and of the Swedish culture.

Building the toilet downstairs

Och vad det gäller toaletten nere så har det bygget också påbörjats. Toaletten ligger precis bakom kafeet och kommer främst att användas av kafegästerna. Eftersom toaletten är så liten kommer den inredas med ljusa färger som vitt och ljusgrått. Men innan vi har kommit så långt, är det ett betonggolv som ska läggas och väggar som ska strykas med ett tunnare lager av gips.


And about the toilet downstairs, it's also right now under construction. The toilet is just behind the cafe and will be used primarily by the cafe guests. Because the toilet is so small, it will be designed with bright colors such as white and light gray. But before we have come that far, a concrete floor needs to be laid and the walls brushed with a thin layer of plaster.

We chose to mix the red bricks and the grey bricks
for the toilet wall to get a nicer color. A thin layer of lime
plaster will be put on the brick surface.

Another wall will be constructed as a corridor to the toilet,
and as an extra work space for the cafe.
