A!FAÇADE by ARREBITA TEAM6 ft. DESLEMBRADOS

Our time is running out but we couldn't leave you without what we have promised! Here are the result of our collaboration with Deslembrados Keep in touch, more surprises are coming!

SIGNED, SEALED AND SOON TO BE DELIVERED

We’re back on the track!

Very productive last few days resulted in singed contract with TOPDOMUS and finally we see a very bright future ahead of us. TOPDOMUS gave us a very competitive prize for the demolition of the old structure, roof renovation and hopefully new floor structure. This price however, takes into account our involvement in works on-site.  

Constructors on site!

In the while we are taking archaeologist classes and making surveys of the walls. We will leave our cosy office and get some fresh air activity while unloading trucks and assisting workers.

Architects vs Archaeologists

The plan of action is as following:

We also have a surprise for you! If everything goes as planned we will be broadcasting the progress of works from Rua Reboleira online. While we try to obtain the permission to film in public premises  try out our current broadcast. LIVE from ARREBITA! office you can now witness the never ending meetings and feel like part of the TEAM.

Our time had almost passed! As we told you : The Best is yet to come but now at least it is sooner than later. We signed and sealed, TEAM7 will deliver!

Something in the way we move...

Something in the way Arrebita moves...

The social mission of Arrebita made us concentrate in another possible parallel project...We like to call it A!Space and it concentrates on the social and physical rehabilitation of the exterior space of our office!

Submitted Proposal

The aim is to give a distinction and identity to our exterior space. The project was sent last week and we are only waiting for city’s approval and comments to start the works.

How we imagine it...

...and while we wait take a moment and listen to some good THE BEATLES.

You know we believe and how...

New Project + Partner To Come

Hi Guys,

This week started with great news: we established a new partnership with Filipe Ganja (Deslembrados), a Stencil Artist / Graphic Designer and we sealed the deal… with what??? First with style and then with a Stencil in the office façade of course!

In the first meeting with Filipe we talked about how could we use this partnership in an unusual way and not only in the most direct application in Reboleira Building interiors and so we start developing some new ideas about energizing the whole façade of our office with a big project that will identify Arrebita!Porto and the great place where we work in ! We hope to bring people here, and to make our message arrive everywhere!

First Meeting With Filipe

But we went further and start to develop a campaign to people continue to get in touch with the project, and we hope to organize an Open Office day where you can see the painting of the wall and you could talk with us to understand the project and to get involved with the project if you want. Take all your doubts!

And the least but not the last… be aware and in alert to Oporto’s walls. We will deliver some messages!

Greg Says Cheers!

Cheers! TEAM 6

Arrebita! Logbook, 4th Working Week

Hi crew! After one week we are glad to inform you that we have another partner! Ricardo Silva is a civil engineer helping us with the gas project.

DID YOU KNOW (creating large open plan spaces with kitchen in the middle makes entire room to be considered as a kitchen, in other words from the gas engineer perspective our building is just 2 massive kitchens, which need to be sufficiently ventilated – yey! lets drill some holes!)

We are working on the architectural design to adjust the building design to the gas safety necessities.

José and Ricardo sealing the deal

Talking with architects Natalia Solano and Rita Saturnino we choose colors and dimensions of the CABA and we will soon surprise you with our next “publication” of A!Booklet…

Meeting with Natalia and Rita S.

Discussing the A!Booklet

This week we finally opened the gates of hell and went to the Rua da Reboleira. Inspection of the building and fighting the massive blood sucking spiders was a lovely gateway from ArchiCAD and office work.

Fighting Massive Spiders

After the fight with the spider, Greg continued relaxing by creating A!Library and organizing all books and catalogs, while the others came back to real work.

Last but not least some great news. We have now gained some international fame (blink, blink J). One of the Brazilian newspapers have interviewed one of TEAM 6 members Yuri and described his adventure with Arrebita! and Portugal here (Portal G1). Ever since this event we spend most of our time hiding from paparazzis and crowds of teenage fans....

A week of enterprises need an happy ending so we decided to organize a meeting/dinner in A!headquarter (our house)  with the engineers Daniel Barbosa e Rita Ferreira talking about our next adventures!

Eating Tany's Italian Food and Greg's Tzatziki

Stay tuned and see you next week ;)

Kisses and beijinhos!
