Cigars have always been associated with wealth and luxury. In this sense, it was essential to focus on decoration in this rehabilitation project, in order to create a fantastic environment.

Wooden panels surrounding the interior walls were used, display cases with shelves covered in acrylic panels, which stand out for their pattern in shades of brown and white that are reminiscent of smoke floating in the air. The aim was to create a comfortable and refined space for cigar lovers.

At the entrance, locate the reception where the exhibitors are located.

The personalized service area is found on the lower floor, which has a circular showcase, also lined with wooden panels, with a glass top so that customers can see the interior. Around it are two armchairs to allow customers to sit and rest.

The cigars are stored in cabinets, the interior of which has a humidity and temperature control system to maintain their quality.

Conde Redondo 13

Lisbon, is the capital of Portugal and increasingly assumes itself as a multicultural city. It presents niche markets with very different needs, as well as people from different cultures, with different consumption habits and gastronomic customs.

In response to this market opportunity, hotel/tourist catering equipment different from the traditional concept appears, seeking to differentiate themselves in a bold way, through the physical space and/or the gastronomic offer. The “Conde Redondo 13” tourist and restaurant project fits into this concept, seeking to offer multiculturalism, gastronomy, culture and entertainment. As well wish to contribute to modernizing of the city and accompanying the cultural wave that is felt in other countries.

The “Conde Redondo” area is currently experiencing a renovation with the rehabilitation and renovation of several buildings, formerly with other uses. This building, subject to a renovation study, was built in the 1980s, with architectural features perfectly marked by the time. The proposed solution is based on some basic assumptions, which involve compliance with the proposed program, the constraints imposed by the existing space, the optimization of the cost/quality ratio through an intervention that, seeking to comply with the presented program, values the architecture, so not to cause unnecessary ruptures in its functional structure, nor solutions that are difficult to implement. Therefore, structural and non-structural demolitions inside the building are proposed.

The proposal is based on the creation of two accommodation units per floor from the 2nd to the 6th floor, from typology T0 (studio) to T1, across its 5 floors.

The building has two independent entrances directed to different floors. One of the entrances is for accessing the upper floors (accommodation units), the other gives access to the 1st floor and the two basement floors (commerce/services).

A Rooftop Bar with terrace for drinks and small snacks was also proposed on the access floor to the roof, with a bar area open 7 days a week.

Light meals and snacks will be provided by the Sushi restaurant (located on the -1 floor) and the Deli cafeteria (located on the 1st floor).

In this tourist enterprise, virtual reality will be one of the focuses in the promotion of accommodation units, through innovation, accessibility and digitization of products and services. The solution to be implemented aims to help overcome language barriers, mobility limitations and promote this tourist place.

A.Gosto

The restaurant A.Gosto is located a few meters from Praia do Amado, a place with a great summertime atmosphere.
The building’s morphological and architectural characteristics are completely kept and preserved.
The concept for the space results from the union between the natural environment and a healthy lifestyle. This idea lead to the search for natural materials and colours, where the apposition of such elements with more austere ones, generates an aura of comfort, lightness and youthfulness.
From its large glazing windows, we have a glimpse of the entire interior layout. The restaurant has three different areas, each one with a particular atmosphere.
On the middle floor, with direct access from the street, there is a lounge-like area, where you can contemplate the urban hustle and bustle through its large window.
The lower floor offers the serving area, where the use of materials and furniture, gives the room a feeling of short-term stay.
On the upper floor, we find the dining area. Here we find spot lighting and materials such as wood and metal, which cover the room with an elegant atmosphere, granting a powerful aesthetic impact.
The use of a green wall sets the atmosphere and provides a laconic and contrasting interior.

With an innovative concept - to provide quick meals at accessible venues, Walls - The Sandwich Shop has currently dozens of small outlets and kiosks in various locations, most of which are accessible by the public.

Following the brand concept, there is a need to create a modular system, adaptable, flexible and easy to replicate.

Based on the principle of creating a modular type, it allows various configurations for as many times as necessary, to get the best result.

Small modules are put together by means of a flexible and adaptable mesh-like structure. This modular system is adaptable to small outdoor kiosks, temporary venues and small niches in companies and universities.

The choice of materials such as aluminium and white laminated wood facilitates the assembling/disassembling of the structures. The lightness of the materials helps its transportation and application.

Modular pieces can migrate from one module to another, creating a complex and infinite creative system.

Architecture adapts itself to the evolution of the environment in which it operates, as well as to its users.
