Text description provided by the architects. Located at a difficult triangular site in the middle of garage shops and cluster adobe housing in Lima’s traditional district of Miraflores the project creates a space for a restaurant, a kitchen-workshop, and offices for one of Peru’s top chefs. The design concept was based in creating two separate spaces that respond to the program requirements, the context and the relation between public and private space. The tempered weather in Peru allowed the project to place the restaurant’s dining room in a large open garden/terrace defined by a recycled wood front wall façade, masonry walls, an open kitchen and the wood covered pastry room.
