TERRAS D´MAIA RESTAURANT
Project for a restaurant and café located in an office and service building in the industrial area of Maia. The proposal presented divides the intended uses among the three existing floor levels (two of them with entrance from the main street, at different elevations, and a third with entrance from the back of the building, at a lower elevation). On the ground floor, with entrance from the back through a gate, the following program is developed: service entrance with space for loading and unloading docks for raw materials, storage, kitchen, changing rooms for staff and sanitary facilities for use by restaurant customers. On the first floor, with entrance from the main street, there is the restaurant room, a service room to support the restaurant (pantry) and administrative services. On the 2nd floor, with an entrance also from the main street, but at a higher elevation, the program provides for an entrance/hallway for the toilet area, dining room (buffet) and cafeteria, in addition to the support services for the cafeteria and buffet. A triple-height area with a water mirror on the lower floor is created, connecting the three floors.
