Project Brief

Characteristic arch trellis dividers draw inspiration from the modern Gare de Oriente train terminal whilst the bar’s concrete arches are reminiscent of the historic Sao Bento Railway Station. Both important to Portuguese architectural, they add to the buzz of the venue.

Project Innovation/Need

Theatre is an important part of the brand. Treating the kitchen as the hub of the restaurant not only ties food to the experience but creates an energy reflected in the restaurants decorative elements.

Design Challenge

The restaurant is vast and it was important to create individual nooks and separate zones to ensure a sense of intimacy.

Sustainability

Local timbers were used throughout.
