Designed in collaboration with Grua Arquitetos, Isca Bar transformed a compact neighborhood venue into a contemporary gathering space that combines the atmosphere of a traditional Brazilian café with the identity of a modern bar.

The project focused on revealing the character of the existing space through precise interventions, balancing preservation with new architectural elements, lighting and material choices.

Custom furniture, graphic interventions and carefully selected finishes were developed as a cohesive system, creating a warm, informal environment where architecture supports everyday social interaction.

From concept development to executive documentation and construction detailing, the project sought simple and durable solutions capable of reinforcing the bar's identity while optimizing its operation.
