Shortlist

Berta Restaurant & Bar

Occupying the ground floor of a redeveloped warehouse, this space revolves around a central open kitchen defined by a working wall of suspended shelves. Providing storage for food and wine, the wall reveals the essential activity of a working kitchen and serves as a blurred boundary between public and private spaces. A marble service block floats in front. Subtle changes in level and materials define the bar and dining areas, with windows framing a neglected part of the city.
