The present work was a conversion of the old art materials store, “Casa Varela”, into a restaurant. The proposed intervention consisted in taking advantage of the previously existent building and patio. The main public access is the main meals room, on the ground floor that extends to the patio in the first half as a roof-covered terrace, and an uncovered terrace by the lot gable. The covered area has a slight transparent cover, with an opening through where an implanted tree grows in the center of this semi-exterior space. On the first floor we find a bar and lounge-like space, that opens over the room below through an opened space that confers to the superior floor a mezzanine character.
