When Devoción<\/a>‘s first location opened in Williamsburg, Brooklynites delighted at the roastery’s oasis-like design and authentic Colombian brews. The beloved coffeehouse has returned for round two with a 1,700-square-foot space on the ground level of a luxury residential building near the borough’s bustling downtown corridor. Greek-American firm LOT Office for Architecture<\/a> spearheaded interiors that honor local traditions and mother nature in equal measure.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a weeklong excursion through Colombia researching regional materials and furnishings, principals Leonidas Trampoukis and Eleni Petaloti<\/a> infused Devoción with traditional motifs and vignettes that evoke casual streetside scenes. Handmade cement tile flooring in traditional patterns sets the mood, with eye-catching geometric shapes continuing upward through perforated brick-lined walls. “The cement texture allows for an unpolished look as found and kept in old mansions in Cartagena,” say the designers.<\/p>\n
