The client was keen on creating a distinctive building by the main road of Chamran Highway in order to catch the attention of pedestrian and people who pass by in a car. Therefore we decided to transform the façade of the building into a large scale urban billboard. In order to achieve this goal, based on the location of the building, at first the second floor volume was rotated towards the highway. In the next step, first and second floor façades was replaced by glazing so the interior and exterior boarders are minimized. By making this connection between interior and exterior users feel connected to the urban life happening outside and the pedestrians sense the interior vibe of the restaurant.
