Technical drawings of the final iteration of the building

The ground floor contains counters for ordering food, payment, and collection. These surfaces, in stainless steel, often bend out from the interior facade, reinforcing the concept of bending metal sheets. Dumbwaiters connect the kitchens above to the points of sale.

Visitors can enter through two doors, either the north door, which leads to the lift for those with mobility impairments, or through the south door, with stairs that descend 1.5 meters. The space is expansive, with up to 5 meter ceiling heights. Facades and surfaces are comprised of stainless steel, Portland stone, and timber.

The first floor contains kitchens and seating.This floor has four different split levels, providing varied ceiling heights and connections to other spaces.

The second floor also contains kitchens and seating areas.There is a standing area with tables for more customers. Planters from the first floor are visible at this height.

The third floor has the store and a very large seating area. Toilets are located on this floor, close to the majority of the dining customers. At this height, few buildings near the site meet the cut: the O2 Academy, a nearby apartment complex, and flats on the next street.

The fourth floor houses the terrace, with lift and stair access. At this elevation, double height and extra tall ceilings from the third floor are present. The triangular stair also opens onto the terrace. The terrace doubles as a space for eating and drinking when weather permits.
