Catania is an Italian port city, built in the 8th century BC.

It was the most prosperous city on the island during the Roman Empire.

At present, Catania port is a distribution center of agricultural products,

 an important seaport and railway hub.

 There are good beaches near the port, which is a tourist attraction in winter.

Based on this background, a container cocktail bar was born here.

As an important stopover place for tourists,

 it is a business center for loading and unloading goods.

Here, hundreds of containers overlap each other,

forming a landscape with strong colors.

[vinicolo hub] is a cocktail bar in Catania port.

Tourists can draw inspiration from the architectural style.

Industrial containers belong to the elements of visual imagination in this place.

They are characterized by overlapping containers,

reinterpreting the historical center of the port.

It is transformed from a 40 foot container,

and uses the flexible combination of parts to provide different configurations according to

the type of service in a specific period or activity.

The two largest panels of the building are controlled by a hydraulic piston system,

which can not only cover itself,

but also make room for the service area when it is opened.

The stairs leading to the top of the building

 are built on the revolving door of the container

and can be split or combined at any time.

As a dining space, [vinicolo hub] is a hub for dining and entertainment,

and a place for life, experience and gathering.

 The size of the closed container is 12.19m x 2.43M.

In an open configuration, it can reach 16.91m x 7.75m.

 The outdoor dining area uses specially designed and manufactured tables and chairs.

 Standing on the terrace on the top floor, you can enjoy the sea view not far away.
