The interiors were redesigned, shaped to their new roles (e.g. restaurant), and made compatible with current legal requirements.

It is an organic, dynamic construction that contrasts with the orthogonal, classical language of the building where it is embedded. The design is defined by great plasticity, both in terms of forms and materials, and is markedly inspired by the natural environment around the site.

The new volume acts like a giant sculpture, tailored for its location.

This work in particular is the result of a partnership and fusion of the ideas of both studios. FCC architecture developed the reconstruction and the new physical space, while Paulo Lobo took care of the interior design. Both offices are always looking for an iconic image in their works, through the plasticity of forms, and the unique textures of the used materials.
