Rooftop Laundry
The late works of Siegfried Morkowitz are best represented by his poem Sentence recently published in the B O D Y Magazine. The melancholy fills the space while the poem is read.

Challenge Nr 1 was to solve a little puzzle. The space that wasn’t meant for a restaurant and the client's task wasn’t the easiest of all: “The place has to work for breakfast, for lunch and even for a drink at night. The food is going to be diverse, served like “pinxtos” from the Basque country, but local and fresh. The look has to be simple. Let the food do the show.”
We managed to win the invited competition with a spatial trick, that made it possible to connect... More
