Designed by the Portuguese firm FCC Architecture and interior designer Paulo Lobo, the Cellar Bar is located on the west coast of Pico, one of the nine islands that make up the archipelago of the Azores in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean.
Description of the project by FCC Arquitectura
The building is the result of a regenerative transformation and expansion of a small pre-existing structure that had been abandoned for many years.
The walls, roof and door frames have been restored, preserving the essential features of the original construction. The interiors were redesigned, shaped to their new roles (e.g. restaurant), and made compatible with current legal requirements.
The new volume is a contemporary creation, exposed to a completely different language. 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.
Several features of that environment are present in the architecture of the building, including the outline of the island, rocks, whales and wine casks. The new volume acts like a giant sculpture, tailored for its location.
