The É PRA PONCHA bar intends to contribute with quality to the experience of the Oporto night. These were the assumptions when the project was solicited. Thus arose the idea of creating a gallery as a cave space consisting of a series of horizontal layers, capable of creating a welcoming environment to the nightlife. These horizontal strata that wave organically shaping the various spaces, create voids, different chambers, where they develop support services to the bar. The gallery, unitary space for the clients, develops a friendly tunnel that opens into the deeper and more interior hall, combining different experiences throughout its diversified, narrow and deep emotions within the chamber and sharing emotions with the outdoors. Both counters reflect white light, simulating ice, like two icebergs floating in the frigid waters of the sea. Inside the gallery the night environment changes slowly: color takes over the space, overflowing emotions of ecstasy. The distinct horizontal strata are marked by color variation that transforms the space from the icy white or blue gallery to the warm colors that reflect the fruit and the fruity poncha.
