The goal was to change the use of the space identified as an historical and emblematic shop known as the old lottery house, into a food and beverage space, adapting its interiors to the needs of the award winning Alcôa Bakery.

The old lottery house language is reinterpreted in order to convert it into a conventual sweets’ bakery, making possible to distinguish the new brand, while recalling its predecessor through the presence of its original features, notably through the use of wood, stonework and even the same counter.
