A single-storey, timber-framed building, comprising a café, a small shop, display space and a multi-use room, used for teaching, among other activities. The project was based on initial feasibility ideas that were already discussed with the owners and the local planning officer. Before the design was started, a survey of the site was carried out in small groups, to determine the slope of the area and to design the building accordingly.

FLOOR PLAN

In case of a fire, the internal wall spans to the roof, preventing the spread of fire. The primary structure is coated with fire retardant paint, increasing protection in high temperatures. The building is fitted with windows between the two different roof levels to allow more natural light into the space
