A large opening on the facade makes the wine tower visible from the street. Mirror stainless steel widens the limited height of the second floor, and brass surfaces are obtained by plating copper on stainless steel. Light sources are hidden to avoid glare.

A T-shaped layout forms four semi-private zones, and benches with movable tables suit groups of different sizes.
