Gourmanization of the space

The competition to design a terrace/veranda of the restaurant "Buffet" in Yaroslavl a city about 250 kilometres north east of Moscow on the Volga river has been organised by NMAXU along with the “Buffet” restaurant, the architectural portal www.cih.ru and the YaSTU department of architecture. Archilovers is media partner.

The size of veranda has to be 25 × 3m and must have a capacity of 60 people. The veranda or terrace will be roofed and glazed and projects must include a design of separate pavilions for 6-8 people. The construction budget is 10,0000 euros
