The main element of the project is a concrete roof which is supported by small, unobtrusive metal pillars which allow maximum space underneath.

The self-supporting structure is completely without gutters so that water naturally flows down the concrete surface and gradually creates a natural patina. The kiosk, which is assembled from black panels with surface profiling is minimised to minimize area and fits under the slanted concrete roofing.
