# Curved Restaurant Extensions 'Cellar Bar' Restored an Abandoned Structure and Has a New Extension By Christopher Magsambol | Published 2015-10-22 | Updated 2015-10-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cellar-bar References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/775813/cella-bar-fcc-arquitectura-plus-paulo-lobo) & [ultimasreportagens](http://ultimasreportagens.com/) 'Cellar Bar' is a unique oceanside restaurant that utilizes an old refurbished structure and a contemporary extension. Oftentimes, when old buildings are restored, an extension is built to carry on the same rustic aesthetic. Cellar Bar, however, abandoned this notion, and built an extremely eye-catching add-on. The original structure was in rough shape so architects decided to restore the essential elements like doors, walls and the roof, and completely redesign the interior. The now open space acts as one room of the dual-building restaurant, outfitted with traditionally [exposed stone walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-bressan). Cellar Bar's modern extension takes inspiration from the surrounding rocks and boulders and was designed in a [sculptural manner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-far). The bright wooden extension was built around the existing structure, which explains its odd curved shape. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Restored Buildings:** Exploring innovative ways to restore and add contemporary extensions to old buildings, creating unique and eye-catching spaces. - **Sculptural Design:** Using the surrounding environment as inspiration to create sleek and modern extensions that blend seamlessly with the existing structures. - **Open Space Interiors:** Creating open and spacious interior designs within restored buildings to enhance the dining experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Architects and designers can explore new techniques for restoring and extending old buildings to create visually striking spaces. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can leverage restored buildings and contemporary extensions to provide unique dining experiences in stunning settings. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can experiment with open space concepts and blend traditional and modern aesthetics to create inviting and visually appealing interiors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Brutalist Museum Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cantabrian-maritime-museum.md) - [Illuminated Curved Home Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cereus-house.md) - [Brick Garden Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hops-house.md) - [Curved Brick Entertaining Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sobremesa-house.md) - [Roman Villa-Inspired Home Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cast-house.md) - [Architecturally Romantic Restaurant Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urbanjobs.md) - [Textured Home Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basalt-house.md) - [Garden Flat Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terzetto-flat.md) - [Sea-inspired Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/civico-29.md)
