The restaurant was designed by K-Studio, based in Athens. They have designed the sheet so that they attach to the ceiling. This means it filters the light and lets it be influenced by the wind. Thus, the shadows and the play of light change during the day, according to the position of the sun.
This movement of the ceiling gives an impression that the restaurant breathes. Levanterman, a photographer on Instagram, posted a video of this roof and it met with real success. For him it was a very relaxing moment.
