POT proposes a new sense of identity and unity with nature, through a structure centered on the materiality of biological elements and their integration into a multisensory process. The new reality of isolation and sensory deprivation finds its “antidote” in a form of “urban habitat” that prioritizes time and the stimulation of the senses as a refuge for individual experiences.

Spatial coherence is achieved by harmonizing architectural elements in a scenographic sequence: the fluid staircase, the volumetric wall, and the raw mass of the bar. Rope, an element of connection, becomes part of the meaningful fabric of the place. The “furnishing” of the ceiling with rope, evoking the skeleton of a ship, emphasizes the height, links natural and artificial light, and creates various tones of light and shadow, imitating natural conditions and giving structure to the interior.
The pot itself—integrated both in the name and in each function of the space—becomes the leitmotif of familiar perspectives, a pretext for social closeness.
