It's planned to install a restaurant / bar, its facilities and a micro-brewery at the former Beato Military Maintenance Power Station, now "Hub Criatvo do Beato".
A long counter located substantially on the longitudinal axis, separates public and private areas. On the east side of the counter area located the public areas, namely restaurant / bar and public toilets. On the west side of the counter are located the kitchen facilites and a higher level, about 70 cm, a beer factory.
At the north side we propose the relocation of the stage. Its configuration and construction details will be similar to the actual ones. With this new location it will act as a stage for live music.
On the south façade, an existing door remains as a service door, loading and unloading, etc. On this south façade we propose the demolition of the attached buildings, in order to reopen the existing passage. On the north wall a new opening with a gate facilitate direct access to the building.
The project foresees the reconstruction of all the relevant elements existing in the building. We propose the reconstruction of all internal environments with identical tiles and mosaics. On the floors, we reuse handcrafted hydraulic mosaics, with a design and colors identical to those currently existing.
As iron frames, they will be treated and reused, or reconstructed, although with the introduction of double laminated glass, for thermal and acoustic reasons. The missing color glass will be displayed on the main door. The ceiling lining will be repaired and applied with open joints and insulated from the inside, for better acoustic behavior. The metal ducts of all mechanical installations are visible, next to the ceiling and on the facades. The equipment of the brewery will be made of stainless steel, as well as the kitchen and the longitudinal counter that organizes the space. In the public area, the sanitary facilities will be covered with stainless steel sheet. The remaining existing elements, such as the roof structure, bridge and guides, fan and generator with their ducts will be fully restored.
