The reception area was placed at the intermediate/street level. The upper level was converted into the main dining room and the basement was transformed into a space for groups and the restaurant technical areas.

The other staircase that connects the entrance with the basement was also reconstructed to improve the circulation.

Nature is incorporated into the interior design with a modular vertical garden system placed at the entrance and at the back of the dining room salad bar. Also, at the basement, nature is presented in a large natural parterre.

It highlights a light sculpture of 200 resin balls over the entrance and a translucent glass wall with shadows of plants at the basement.
