The main need
Once the phase one was decided and define by a polygon area. The main building in this phase will be the restaurant, which will be open to the the public as the first service the project will offer. This resurant have to serve to a maximium capacity of 190 people.

La pregunta iniciales cuando se inició el diseño del restaurante fuer “¿Qué tipo de comida ofrecerán?” Dicho esto se inicia a trabajar creando un menú con un chef que coordina esta fase de cocina del proyecto y nos muestra el proceso de la línea de preparación para que dicha cocina responda a un flujo de trabajo y necesidades especificas. Esto es vital para el funcionamiento de la cocina, porque se trasladará al espacio real.
As the restaurant is on the border of the dam, when the water level is up the restaurant structure is flooded. Because we wanted that the experience of the user would be that, and also seeking the best location it has a plenty view to the water mirror of the dam.
Pato negro restaurant - Design
For this phase one, the materials we choose were concrete (because the structure is flooded) and bamboo. For the main structure of the resutaurant, where the kitchen is located we design a bamboo structure that through arcs on the side keep the view on the dam for the people inside.

Once we had the menu define and the list of the equipment required on kitchen. We start do design the space inside of it, that was already given by the measure of it. The chef also tell us the people that probably will be working at the same time. Both in the kitchen and on the tables.
