A.03 — Life inside

An ordinary day, drawn to scale.

There’s no ping-pong and no motivational talks. There is this, most days, give or take:

  1. 08:12

    The first espresso leaves the machine. Whoever pulls it switches on the entrance neon.

  2. 09:30

    Production silence. Headphones on, the big room settles into a low hum.

  3. 13:00

    Common table in the kitchen. Tupperware, bread from the bakery next door, talk that isn’t work.

  4. 15:20

    A queue at the booth: three calls back to back. Someone leaves a post-it to hold their turn.

  5. 17:40

    Campanhã light comes in low through the south windows and nobody closes the blinds.

  6. 18:30

    On Fridays, there’s wine. It’s not a meeting, there’s no agenda, nobody presents anything.

A.04 — House rules

Five rules. That’s plenty.

  1. R.01

    Calls happen in the booth. The big room hears everything — and it has a good memory.

  2. R.02

    The coffee belongs to everyone. Finish the bag, grind the next one. No exceptions, no job titles.

  3. R.03

    Friday at 18:30 there’s wine. Showing up isn’t mandatory; neither is apologising for not coming.

  4. R.04

    The plants belong to everyone. Watering falls to whoever remembers first — and someone always does.

  5. R.05

    Last one out closes the big gate and switches off the neon. The neighbourhood says thanks.

A.05 — Who’s here

The regulars.

Forty-two chairs, no two alike. A sample of who you’ll find around:

  • Marta Leitão

    Illustrator · since 2022 · A2

    Draws book covers and refuses to use the freight lift.

  • Rui Tavares

    Developer · since 2021 · C4

    Writes firmware in the morning and slow-ferment bread at night.

  • Ana Beça

    Translator · since 2023 · B1

    Translates novels from German. Half the booth’s post-its are hers.

  • Nuno Sarmento

    Architect · since 2022 · F2

    Drew the floor plan on this page. Charged in dinners.

  • Filipa Osório

    Accountant · since 2024 · D5

    Closes the books for half the neighbourhood without raising her voice.

  • Tiago Reis

    Podcaster · since 2023 · G3

    Records in the booth on Tuesdays. Swears the warehouse echo adds texture.

A.07 — Visit

Come see the warehouse.

Fifteen minutes is enough to know if it’s your kind of place. Tell us when you’re coming and we’ll handle the rest — coffee’s on us.

No strings attached. Coming by metro, get off at Campanhã and walk down Rua do Freixo — 10 minutes on foot.
