A versatile, modern, and equipped space for cultural events. Where we will have our Saturday's party with a live band playing for us and lifting the energy very high.
Gonçalo Carvalho is the architect who reinvented a world where a shirt factory was there before. Built in 1883 this place is where the first Portuguese movie was filmed, and a bank once stood.
The result of this design is a breathtaking and very artistic blend of spaces created to surprise the guests.
If you take the elevator to the top floor, you can find a bar accompanied for a jukebox and an area with sofas converted into an occasionally dance floor for this event. Also if you go up though the stairs you can find the rooftop where we can relax after this non-stop dancing weekend with classes and parties, have our drinks and put our feet into the swimming pool.
