Jamie Oliver’s Pizzaria

Jamie Oliver’s Pizzaria on Rua do Loreto 12 is the result of collaboration between Contacto Atlântico and Jamie Oliver’s UK architects. The brief expresses the brand image and adapts it to the site while keeping the identity of the building. In addition, access and service follow a simple, clear logic.

On the street front the openings read as one composition. The pillar that once split the shopfronts is removed to improve visibility. Frames and glazing are replaced with safer solutions and black awnings carry the brand mark. The render is repaired in the same material and tone so the façade keeps a consistent look.

Inside, small steps and level changes come out to ease movement and gain width. Dining and service areas are reconfigured and non structural partitions come down. Thus, the space becomes functional and comfortable for teams and guests.

The layout sets three dining rooms, a service counter with a gas oven, kitchen, day pantry, wine store and storage, customer and staff toilets, a staff locker room, a waste area and an outdoor courtyard. An air conditioning network ensures stable comfort across seasons. Therefore, Jamie Oliver’s Pizzaria supports smooth service and keeps a welcoming atmosphere in the Loreto streetscape.
