Severe temporal and economic restrictions were imposed for the execution of this transformation.

The characteristics of this typical centenarian bistro sufficed to restore its original spatial integrity, giving it a dignified name to the population of Geneva.

A significant pruning of the interior decor and a meticulous work ethic were brought to the project, summarising the mindset adopted for this transformation, carried out in less than a month.

The texts on each window pane act as a filter between the interior and exterior. They derive from short articles that briefly describe the history of the district.
