The task was to create a restaurant to represent Lima's uniqueness, with elements that could be replicated in other establishments. Our view is that these aspects should focus on the spatial conditions created by Lima's unique climate, the typical introspection of colonial and pre-Hispanic residences, and the regulation of the interior lighting conditions.

An inner world was created with five modules forming an intermediate space. A large, fluid space emerges at eye level, similar to the living area in the A4 House. The intermediate space is alternately compressed and expanded by the asymmetry of these modules, producing the quality of an indoor space despite being an open-air, exterior area.

Each module has a differentiated use and a way of experiencing the act of eating in a restaurant: the first comprises a food store and areas for eating a quick snack, the second is furnished with long tables for a communal eating experience, the third has a more classic arrangement of individual tables for up to four diners, the fourth has a bar and high tables with stools, and the fifth is a private space separated from the other areas. Depending on the time of day, some modules are busier than others, while the intermediate spaces articulate these distinctions with additional spaces to eat or linger.
