Namorados Beach Kiosk is marked by a lack of decorative and simplicity that results in its "clean aesthetic, where [modern] materials meet in simple, well-executed joints" (a2MODERN, 2001) - an attempt of translating its Modernist-based design.
The materials employed on this project are concrete (mostly left in its raw form), glass, stainless steel (to account for the effects of saltpeter, incomming from the sea), wood (exterior finishing), white marble (kitchen and bar counters), and polished concrete (flooring).
The metal roof above the kitchen area is an overhang sustained by stainless strained steel cables. |
