The charcuterie counter, covered by a metal grid placed at a low height for hanging hams and cheese, conceals the dining room from the "perpetual spring" (Baudrillard) of the shopping mall. (photo: Diogo Zúquete)

The kitchen, visible at the back of the room, is a concavity coated with dark blue handmade tiles. (photo: Diogo Zúquete)

The sink, exposed in the center of the room, is a carved block of lioz limestone. (photo: Diogo Zúquete)
