In theory; the design approach aimed at stimulating a theatrical character to the experience when visiting the café or simply walking through the atrium. The action inside the kitchen is explicitly framed by a canopy and a set of partitions that allow visual access from all directions.

The canopy is lifted by two transparent walls, each wall is composed of two steel columns and two glass panels with unfinished
teak wood pyramids blocks in between (Three dimensional pattern). The glass panels augment the visual accessibility from both side of the cafe [Elevation 3, 4].

Thassos white marble is used for cladding the (100-140cm) high partitions surrounding the kitchen. Triangular pattern is utilized to enhance the texture and scale of the partitions.
