For SCUSA, a new space in Lisbon, the briefing was put out in very few words: reimagine an Italian restaurant without falling into the trap of common stereotypes of what “Italian” is and means, but also not to avoid that same cultural framework and turn it into what we now call a “fusion” of sorts.

As a contemporary interpretation of that Italian flair, which goes from the Alpine lakes to the olive groves of Puglia, we needed to make sure the food was the principal ingredient in this equation, and that the space to enjoy it was warm and cozy, with bright oranges and yellows, almost an outside looking in perspective, sunny side up.

As an Architecture and Design Studio which is based on one simple equation, that of understanding space (which is also in our name), that perception and principle keeps us focused on understanding what a client needs, and in translating those needs into an extraordinary effectiveness which the client will see, perceive, touch and feel.
Seen here in striking form.
