It is surprising how well this modern, tranquil pavillion blends into the scenery of historic Warsaw. The topography of the site allows for a large exhibition/concert space 'underground' which is still accessible from the back of the square while the cafe opens itself up to the 'salon' of Warsaw which is Krakowskie Przedmiescie. The pavillion and it's accompanying terrace sit slightly below the level of the sidewalk so that the continuity of the historic facades of the street is not broken. At the same time it creates a comfortable place for people to relax and people-watch.
