In the Anjos neighborhood, south of Lisbon, in Portugal, the architecture studio Maxime Mangold Architecte has completed O PIF, a wine cellar that combines a contemporary look, between informal and elegant.
The premises are located on the ground floor of a corner building, which determined the idea of the project. The space reinforces the relationship between interior and exterior, understanding the bar as a continuation of the street.

The design by Maxime Mangold Architecte uses the different elements of the program to emphasize and prioritize the monochromatic space. The bar, made of beige lacquered metal, centers the project without taking away its prominence, while a step ladder allows access to the cellars and an office located on a mezzanine floor.
In the center, a three-dimensional curved neon light designed in collaboration with artist Hugo Cantegrel simulates an abstract representation of the popular dances resulting from the treading of grapes.

Project description by Maxime Mangold Architecte
O PIF is a wine bar of around 40 m², located in Lisbon in the Anjos district, it is a place combining in-formalism and elegance in a rapidly changing district. The space, located on the ground floor of a corner building, enjoys a privileged "balcony" location on the intersection of rua Maria Andrade and rua Maria. This particular situation is the basis of the architectural concept of the place.
Like a theater set, the monochrome space reinforces this close relationship between the exterior and the interior, between the public and the private. From inside, the street is staged through large bay windows, from outside, the bar is seen as a continuation of the street, a domesticated public space.
The colors and materials of the project are inspired by the existing cement tile floor and benefit the enhancement of the architectural heritage, the past and the present are linked in a common goal. It is a domestic space, a comfortable environment where the spatial experience is fully offered to the visitor.

The project uses the different elements of the program in a subtle way to punctuate the monochrome and prioritize the space. The bar, specially designed for the place is made of a beige lacquered metal, its extreme formal simplicity centers the project without stealing its protagonism. As in an old library, a sliding ladder provides access to the various wines but also to the private office located on the mezzanine. This created space plays with the high ceiling, the wooden claustra intimate access to the sanitary facilities.
In the center of the volume stands out a 3-dimensional curved neon light, a blown glass object designed in collaboration with the artist Hugo Cantegrel. It is a unique, light, and intoxicating piece that has its origins in the popular dances resulting from the crushing of grapes.
It expresses this very special moment of drunkenness and controlled imbalance.
