Introduction
Situated on the Côte d'Azur, France, a 1950s building was remodelled to form a new restaurant, bar and tea room seating 310 people, with external garden spaces featuring a new cocktail terrace and a covered timber deck. Cantilevered stairs link to the garden, and new concrete stairs in a double-height volume link the bar and reception to the restaurant below. The external facades have full height openings and frameless windows in order to increase transparency and allow spectacular panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the town of Menton.
