  • A view down the stairwell of a modernised restaurant: a staircase leading downwards with terrazzo steps and black handrails on both sides. On the right, a roughly hewn natural stone wall with a window opening; on the left, smooth wooden and concrete elements with a doorway leading to the ground floor. A light-coloured exposed timber ceiling with beams and spotlights; at the top, two slender windows through which daylight and trees are visible. An emergency exit sign above the passageway; a striking contrast between the historic stone and the contemporary wood and concrete.
