Description of the intervention:
The receptive building will be used as a restaurant. The peculiarity of the building lies in its shape, which represents a vine leaf. The structure consists of three arches with three main hinges that intersect at an intermediate point, from which a series of purlins with variable curvature form the secondary framework. A curiosity: given the shape, if we exclude the symmetry, there are no two identical beams throughout the roof.
