560 RESTAURANT

Lisbon, Portugal
João Tiago Aguiar Arquitectos
Area: 80 sqm

"The restaurant is placed on the ground-floor of an old building in Bairro Alto, Lisbon’s city centre.

By hosting different commercial uses, it suffered some changes in order to respond to different functionalities throughout the 20^th century. It last known use was an internet café and tea house, both functioning at the same time.

Since the program was to design a restaurant, our intervention estimated a new interior reorganization.

The space is divided into three distinct moments: the storefronts/entries, the dining rooms and the services area required to the restaurant’s normal operation. 

Three sleeves parallel to each other, materially different, embracing the space in order to minimize the invasion of the building’s stairwell that tends to divide the space in half.

The façade was restored and maintained in full. 

The lit white marble welcomes those arriving.

In the room, the OSB coating is occasionally perforated, permeable to the light that stands behind.

As background, a large traditional tiled wall, this time glazed black, beyond which the bar, kitchen and sanitary facilities are arranged."

"Conversion of a dark basement with no history and with several interior compartments located in Rodrigo da Fonseca Avenue into a spacious and illuminated apartment. Various walls were demolished, the entrance and distribution of the house was reorganized in order to transform it in a fluid and less compartmentalized space. At the back, the little and scarce windows gave way to large windows, open up to the level of the deck and garden that was created abroad."
