An empty 400m2, former warehouse located in a residential area on the outskirts of the historic center of the city, was the basis for the creation of vaga – space of art and knowledge, consolidating the permanence of the Anda&Fala Association in the territory and in time.
The space's division in the programmatic areas (workshop – gallery – house) followed the preexisting structure, as well as the openings in the single volume facade.
The main atrium, an extension of the street with service and store area inserted in a wooden exhibition wall, opens to the gallery – the presentation space, with foyer and two exhibition rooms that can accommodate projects in various disciplines, such as focus on visual arts, through 4 pivoting doors that leave space to draw different ways to circulate.

Color has revealed to play a fundamental role in the project, giving it character and clarity. A grayish blue tone was chosen to standardize the façade and all its elements, as well as the preexisting internal volume. It was also with the purpose of standardizing the interior, that all the ceiling and structural elements in wood and steel were painted in matt black.
