    Get a site, which belongs to Oporto emotional and cultural estate… and adapt it to a new reality, not forgetting the usages of a café full of tradition…

    Known, all over the years as a meeting-site of Oporto inhabitants from different generations, due to its location and service, it was necessary to give it a new look.

    From the challenge… there came the concept… and we managed to transform a place without personality into a mixure of light… textures and neutrality of colours.

    A space defined by an irregular geometry… with new vertical and horizontal lines… simple forms, which are connected… in an atmosphere where emotions arise, causing multiple perspectives and ways of being.

    Nothing is there just by chance… everything has an aim and a connection…

    A site… to pass by… and stay, a place where close contacts are made reality.
