Anjo Solto ZN Restaurant: Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Anjo Solto gains a new home. Our main intent was to take advantage of some of the modernist components of the building still in relatively good shape - bi-partite façade and its glazed perforated tiles, cast iron bars and windows and doors - which we mostly restored, blending these with clearly contemporary features. The aim was to attenuate the limits that often separate interior and building design, seeking integrity between these two by using colors and materials that symbiotically conform a timeless ambience. We particularly valued the joints between different materials and transitions from old to new, which we believe helps sustaining a remarkable spatial experience.
