The garden of the Peppino restaurant

A few dozen meters from Freedom Square in Pacov stands a more than one hundred-year-old corner building at the main intersection. In the semi-buried cellar spaces, a restaurant was created in 2006. Until now, it lacked outdoor seating, which did not seem optimal due to the busy street. From a property rights perspective, there was only one possible place for the proposal, situated in a relatively awkward and confining space between the mentioned building and the adjacent structure. It is not a classic gap intended for construction (as might be inferred from the view of the adjacent gable wall), but a complicated turn of the side street. The floor plan of the four-sided polygon of the garden corresponds exactly to the shape of the utilized land. Thanks to the plants planted between its outer and inner shell (rising about a meter above the surrounding terrain), it appears outwardly as a real garden - an unexpected green island in the midst of an asphalt sea. Quite deep beneath the blooming greenery, at the level of the basement restaurant's floor, quite a different scene unfolds: in the space defined by wooden slats, undisturbed guests sit at round tables, enjoying their lunch in the open air. The inner organic shape is not accidental; it corresponds, among other things, to the spatial requirements for the installation of
technical facilities (of the adjacent restaurant) and storage spaces in the intermediate layer.
