We designed and built this restaurant back in 2020; it was totally open-air, which is why it was operating during several months of the year. Soon we had to redesign the entire restaurant, enlarge it, and enclose it under a roof to enable year-round operation. The rich greenery of the valley served as a cornerstone for us, upon which we built the restaurant concept.

This design is formulated as a system that represents a hybrid structure of what is architectural and what is natural, balancing the daily needs of humans with structure. The system aims to resemble systems in nature, so that the building interacts with its surroundings and creates a coherent ecosystem from a set of elements and systems that interact with the architectural composition.

That makes these corners a vocabulary for dialogue and communication between inside and outside. The field of view forms an additional space and parallel stories between nature and the architectural space.... More
