לאחר ארבע שנים, מגיפה עולמית וכמה קבלנים, המסעדה O Marmorista פתחה את שעריה. האתגר הראשוני של משרד האדריכלים PF Architecture Studio היה להפוך סדנת שיש עתיקה שנבנתה במאה ה-19, הממוקמת בלב האזור הפיננסי של העיר פורטו, לבר שבו אפשר לאכול ארוחה ייחודית או במסעדה שבה אפשר להאזין למוזיקה הטובה ביותר, ללא הסתייגויות, רשמיות או יומרות.
The entire project should be a permanent work in progress from the space to the menu, and the architecture design should enhance this intention. The starting point was both promising and challenging. A space full of possibilities and a group of motivated clients.

Project goals - Keep the existing building unchanged, reusing all the spatial and decorative elements existing in the space. - The idea of sharing was central to the business concept, so the space should reflect and encourage this attitude. - The restaurant and the bar should be a continuous but hierarchical act, be one without being the same, without physical barriers or separations, but with a clear division of moments and uses.

Learning from religious architecture [eating, drinking, and dancing are themselves acts of faith] the traditional churches, entrance, street, churchyard, antechamber, and aisle are reproduced. - Working on the idea of container and content, the building is stripped down to its skin, granite walls, and wooden roofs. Then the new program comes in by introducing marble monoliths that house the valences of the new use, kitchen, pantry, bars, and simultaneously organizing of the interior space. The elegance and abstraction of the new polished marble bodies contrast with the rawness of the granite and concrete of the existing space. - Everything else is minimal, honest, visible, and transformable. The result is an eclectic, romantic, urban, brightly lit, and constantly changing space.
