pyramidal aluminum structure , thus altering the initial conception of the building .
The project provides the museum with a new space on the second floor to house its restaurant and terrace . To accomplish this , the project involved the creation of a new volume that provides a solution to the pathologies present in the roof and façade of the building .
The square morphology of this volume is the result of the addition of 4 triangles that regularize and complete the paraboloids of the original building , thus directing the protagonism towards the interior to the rawness of these concrete paraboloids . In a sense , the geometry becomes a recovered element , a vestige of the past , and the protagonist of the interior of the restaurant . Treated as an artistic element , the triangular wooden false ceilings frame it .
The exterior features a glass box seeking maximum transparency ( nuanced by textiles in the form of curtains , depending on the orientation ), allowing expansive views of the extraordinary landscape of the Bay of Santander , lending to a feeling of being at sea .
