Ledge is a fusion restaurant serving exclusive food of traditional cuisines from four highest mountains of different continents. Such as Tanzania, Russia, Argentina and Nepal. One enters the space from an elevator that is taken from the ground floor of the building. This elevator takes a visitor either to the beginning of the ramp or straight up to the terrace. The ramp evolving around the core of the space - the kitchen, plays a big role in the whole experience of the restaurant. This is where the journey starts, walking up the ramp, there are special windows where one can order food and meet the chef, tables - to sit down and enjoy the meal with amazing views of Barcelona, and passages - that bring back the memories and thoughts of being up in the mountains. Moreover, after completing the journey on the ramp you reach the peak of the mountain - terrace. Here you can relax enjoying the views, interact with people, share experiences of your journey.

The ramp serves as an eating space, interaction area and a path that links different parts of the restaurant. When passing by the eating area the path gets narrower creating the feeling of irregularity and naturalness. All the furniture was designed for this restaurant specifically which forms were inspired by the shapes of four mountains. Use of wood as the material gives the warmth and comfortability feeling to a very rigid shapes. The materials used in the restaurant are simple but versatile by texture. Rough and smooth, cold and warm.

Construction of the ramp is reasonably simple using U form steel profiles that are connected with straight ones for the strength and stability of the construction. Additionally, ramp is supported by a hanging system that uses wire ropes going through the profiles. This is a very simple solution similar to the hanging of the swings. The custom made rectangular hollow sections are covered with steel plates that come in two designs, one for integrated tables and the other for the railing.
