Auntie Yatie's Café
Cajal Bodies drew a sixty-two sheet A3 contractor set for Auntie Yatie's Café in Bara, South Sulawesi: plans, elevations and sections a local builder can work from.
Auntie Yatie's Café is a small café on the coast a few minutes north of Tanjung Bira. The brief was a set a builder can actually work from, not a visualisation: plans, elevations and sections at a scale you can hold a tape measure against, with every height, length and width on the drawing.
The interesting problem was the roof. The ceiling heights the client wanted put the café roof at eight degrees and the loft roof at six, and alang-alang thatch needs thirty or more before it sheds water. Rather than quietly pick one and lose either the look or the waterproofing, both numbers went back to her as numbers. She chose to split the difference, so thatch now runs as an eight-hundred-millimetre apron at the eave, where it is the thing you see, and long-run galvalume does the actual waterproofing behind it at low pitch.
The set now runs sixty-two A3 sheets at Rev B4: fifteen architectural, twelve for mechanical, electrical and plumbing, and thirty-five structural, all drawn to the same sheet kit and title block every Cajal Bodies drawing set uses.
It is drawn and not yet issued. Four decisions are still with the owner, and the structural sheets need an engineer's sign-off before anyone builds from them.

Build it, then run it
Cajal Bodies works four ways: run it, build it, draw it or make it, and most published work started with something built. If nothing is running yet, that starts with Build it; once it is, the monthly work keeps it watched.
