Textual content description offered by the architects. This small area with a decreased triangular plan of 35 m2, is positioned in a privileged location inside an space with nice pedestrian stream. For that reason, the bakery undertaking was based mostly on making a fusion between kitchen, store, and sideboard, permitting not solely the customer to understand the completely different phases of the bread manufacturing course of, but in addition the pedestrians who flow into by way of the road can do the identical. Primarily based on this notion, the clear façade turns into the central component of the undertaking, that accommodates however on the identical time permits visible interplay, the dialogue between the inside area and the road exterior.
