The BAR NUMBER TWO - É PRÁ PONCHA emerges out of respect for its heritage, the desire to interpret it, to unify the Lisbon / Porto designs, and also to attempt to create something genuine. Here the space opens up onto the main room where the central arches and stone pillars, full of history, worn by time and the use of chains that shackled the prisoners, are a strong presence. Now it is the metal trays which are supported by the pillars and people lean on these old stones, not hopelessly, but comforting themselves with a good glass of punch. Thus, the formerly cloistered and cold space of yore gains new life. The strata of coloured panels on the ceiling snake through the space, energizing it and creating a variety of emotions: colour, life, fruit, movement and escape are represented here. On the other hand, dreams, hope and freedom are in the heavens, that is, in the ceiling where the backlit screen helps to create an optical illusion. The stone archway holding us firmly on the ground seems to extend into the void and, in the end, the inside is outside! The illusion flows over the space as an enclosed shell, entrancing it.
