A beautiful modernist chalet in the upper part of the city. In its garden, under the trees, diners were seated during the summer. The key decision was to discourage the alteration of the interior of the chalet to accommodate the dining room. We recommended leaving the tables where they were and covering them with a glass umbrella. Inside the chalet, respecting the rooms of the old house, the bar and a private dining room were placed. Walls were decorated like gardens, and ceilings like firmaments. In this greenhouse-dining room, we achieved living trees on the walls and, on the ceiling... a real sky. Azulete was demolished against my determined opposition, and this act was the last straw in our relationship with Núñez y Navarro.
