The residual and infrastructural character of this rear patio and
restaurant addition was informed by the tangle of power lines that
dominate the existing lot. Those infrastructural vectors are collected to
produce a canopy of suspended steel cables that coalesce into an
undulating ceiling surface over the new dining area. The concrete
paving is repeatedly cut away on a varying grid to allow the plants at
the periphery to advance toward the tables at the center. A new
perforated-metal-clad structure with restrooms and storage channels
patrons from the existing restaurant to the new patio.
