The Portuguese studio led by José Ferreira, Ferreira Arquitectos, has developed the project for the restaurant of the Club de Vela Costa Nova located on the west coast of Portugal, on the shore of the Ría de Aveiro.

The proposal prepared is divided into 3 main spaces that correspond to the requested program requirements. An area for a restaurant, another for the club's members bar, and a terrace.

One of the objectives of the Ferreira Arquitectos project was to renovate the space damaged by time while preserving the recognizable old space, respecting the memories and their value, still relevant for the members of the Club with more time.

With this premise, the morphology of the project is organized around a single counter that maintains the division between the spaces, without creating confusion and excess of divisions.

Description of project by Ferreira Arquitectos

The Costa Nova Sailing Club, one of the oldest nautical clubs in the Ria de Aveiro estuary area, was divided into 3 main spaces: the restaurant, the club members bar and the terrace.

For each of these spaces, there was a specific audience with different preferences and traditions, which caused the great challenge of this project. We intended to renew a space damaged by time and, at the same time, to maintain the recognizable space of the “old”, respecting the memories and their value, still relevant to all members of the Club.

Thus, the wood remained as the backdrop of the typical Costa Nova haystack, so as to root this memory. However, it was always used allied to the modern technologies, as for example, in the backlit wood pieces, so to create a unique and comfortable environment.

In terms of the morphology of the space, it was clear that its excessive division was hampering the flow of the route, so we decided to create a single counter, which maintained, even though sublime, the division between the restaurant and the bar.

At the restaurant, we decided to take advantage of the back view over the estuary through large spans with a minimalist expression to maintain a cleaner panoramic view. And the kitchen, now expanded, allowed the user to monitor the work and its conditions.
