Surrounded by an artificial lake, the dome, measuring ten meters high and fifteen meters in diameter, is topped with an oculus of 1.5 meters in diameter that ensures the release of hot air from the bar, cooled by the adiabatic evaporation of the perimeter water.

The building was assembled in only three months thanks to a system of prefabricated pieces – 48 bamboo ribs –, which allowed minimizing the energy use during construction, and also ensured that the total price would be affordable.
