The main need

The goal of this structure is to indicate an access and a reference point in the horizon for the people is coming to the project.

We decide to use a piramidal structure as a base cause the roof design of the pato negro restaurant was alresdy designed, and it has this geometric intention. But to make it highlight we add a crossing floating x structure with a truncated hyperboloid weave with rope.

As first phase started the architecture design and after the branding design. The Brand design team on this project choose this structure as part of the project, cause it define an icon symbol on the horizon.

Entrance structure - design

At the beginning of the project the main material for the structure was wood. But we decided to use bamboo because already many structure of the project were using it. As we know the bamboo has a very well resistance. We used iron pieces desinged by mesure in the joins of the structure.

As the platform area where we were to build the structure change respect the original. We had to elevate the structure to not have a too high piramide that overpass the top of the restaurant roof. This structure had a budget of 1100 Usd.
