01_

A meeting and performance venue designed for commercial use of a small portuguese town.
Defined by a volume with accentuated inclined roofs and interior functions logically defined.

As requested by the costumer, traditional materials of the village were thoughtfully used in order to fit in with the rustic landscape : wood, for façades, interior walls and stucture, interior pavements and slate for roof tops and pavements.
