their dimension or typology. Please send us high quality photos

our Marketing e-mail - david.cardoso@dimscale.com. It will be our pleasure to help spreading new Architecture concepts and ideas.
560 RESTAURANT
560 RESTAURANT
Lisbon, Portugal

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 20th
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."
