Located in the Batel neighborhood of Curitiba, Céu Bar is the result of the renovation of a 1950s building that preserves its original façade and presence in the urban landscape while revealing a modern and surprising interior. The intervention aimed to highlight the existing architectural memory while introducing contemporary elements, creating a versatile and multifaceted space for the city’s nightlife.
On the ground floor, a spacious outdoor area blends nature and social interaction, serving as a meeting point for various experiences, supported by a showcase-style bar. A red metal staircase and walkway connect the floors and stand out as striking visual elements of the project.
On the rooftop, visitors are welcomed by a panoramic view of the city. This space sets the stage for Céu Bar’s vibrant nightlife, marked by scenic lighting and contemporary architecture. The walkway that connects the rooftop to the old house invites guests to explore the attic, a cozy area that preserves the building’s memory. The old enclosing wall was replaced with a large stained-glass window, visually connecting the interior and exterior spaces. Inside, original ceramic tiles and exposed bricks add a nostalgic touch, while armchairs, comfortable sofas, and indirect lighting create an intimate atmosphere. The stainless-steel bar, the centerpiece of the space, adds a modern contrast.
Inside the ground floor, the walls that once divided the original rooms were removed to make way for a spacious listening bar — an immersive environment, clad in wood, with acoustics designed for music. The bar counter, covered in dark red tiles, creates a warm and dynamic atmosphere, inviting guests to explore the vinyl collection while enjoying great drinks.
Between the stained glass, the bold aesthetic, and the preservation of the historic façade, Céu Bar uniquely combines history, architecture, and urban life, offering distinctive experiences in each of its spaces.
