Five pavilions with 3 modules configuration have been installed in Valladolid town, Spain.
Three of them in the street called 'Acera de Recoletos' which is the main connection between the train station and the city center and two of them in town, all for for restaurant purpose as café and typical spanish tapas places.
The structure has been built in pine laminated wood.
In the perimeter modules to car traffic, a vegetal envelop acts as a visual filter. There are planters with specific bamboos which change its colors under the sun intensity and acting as rain water collectors.
The vegetal roof is completely free of installations systems and has been designed with grass plants to be hanging in its perimeter and in the rest.
