All architecture is ephemeral and is future support for other architectures or activies. The ephemeral may be transferred to new media that is always constituted as a recipient of multiple configurations and variations through minimal efforts.

Overlapping, overlaying, adding successive deposits of thin layers of matter without removing or destroying is that the city is built. Discard, waste, and more importantly the future waste is avoided. The support is inteded for overlapping but never to become rubble. The overlap implies lightness and facilitates resemantization.

This premise is carried out in the conditioning of a small space to be transformed into a wine bar, La Parra Winery. The interior atmosphere is achieved through the montage of furniture and new surfaces applied over the existing. Based on the idea that at a rental space should avoid any kind of wet work, economic, light and conventional materials are proposed to generate a needed intimate atmosphere. Cold and warm textures, that work together through an almost theatrical lighting, are contrasted. Phenolic panels and discarded wood work together with galvanized sheets and black melamine plates producing rhythms, silences and reflections.

The exterior facade of OSB appears to be a box of wine that reconfigures itself recreationally when opening and closing the store. It is a strong showcase of urban communication keeping behind the original batch and weak front.
