Marketta Mediterranean Bistro in Syntagma Square, Athens | SOUTH Architecture

By Melina Arvaniti-Pollatou, for Archisearch: The layout is organized by enhancing the transparency of the space between the street and the interior. Architects introduced the concept of the food preparation and the seating area to be in the same, main room. Therefore, they designed a single space in the front, where both food service and eating is taking place, while the auxiliary spaces, storage, baking room and the powder room, are all designed at the back. As a result, a gradual feeling of privacy is created as you enter the store, and you get a relaxed feeling like being in the living room of your home.
