Les Cols Restaurant Marquee

The marquee is a space for banquets and celebrations in the garden of a restaurant. The Spanish design team designed it to stay as close as possible to being outdoors.

A light steel structure carries a roof of fine, closely spaced lines that filter the sun into soft stripes. Transparent walls keep the trees and the garden in view on all sides, so diners sit in what feels like a covered clearing.

The floor continues the garden, with strips of grass and stone running under the tables. By day the light shifts across them with the clouds; by night the marquee glows among the trees.
