Porto Cenario Bar

The Project

The project involved the adaptive re-use of a small restaurant, 50 square metres in area, into a Lounge Bar along the Porto riverside front. The architects attempted to peel off the old skin of the existing space in order to induce a new visual and functional life into its decaying body. This was done within the constraints of time and money as imposed by the client.

Existing surfaces and fabrics were removed to introduce a new foil within the existing structure. Through this operation of unfolding the customer areas were segregated from the services and supporting spaces such as the sanitary, the kitchen and DJ cabin. The existing kitchen was divided to provide for the latter of these areas.
