Capanna
Athens, Greece
Capanna is a pizzeria / trattoria in Kolonaki, an area in the center of Athens.
The restaurant sits on the corner of Ploutarchou and Haritos street, where Haritos becomes
pedestrianised. When the weather is warm enough, which in Athens happens more often than not,
the floor to ceiling windows can slide upwards allowing the restaurant to spill out onto the
pavement.
The experience of eating outside was the starting point for the design of Capanna. The aim was to
render the space with the atmosphere of an Italian courtyard. A pallet made up of materials
familiarly found in these spaces such as cement tiles, stucco plaster, travertine stone, blackened
steel railings, and characteristic narrow wooden shutters, was used to clad the different spaces in
the restaurant. The wood burning oven and the pizza bar are enclosed within a travertine stone box
that sits in the far corner of the space framing the Pizzaiolo. On top of it balances a rectangular
volume, clad with reclaimed wooden shutters, enclosing the kitchen, storage and WC facilities. The
two shapes connect with a suspended steel staircase that penetrates them. The floor is laid with
grey cement tiles but in the double-height area of the restaurant geometrically patterned cement
tiles create a carpet-like strip that continues onto the adjacent wall, emphasizing the height of the
room. The various vintage chairs add softness and a laid back feeling to the restaurant and the
grey stucco plastered walls and ceiling help to enclose all of this in a textured, minimal envelope.
The combination of purposefully designed elements, reclaimed materials and vintage furniture,
presents an architecture that sits comfortably between the bespoke and the sourced, creating an
exciting and sociable atmosphere.
On the first floor mural artist Joanna Burtenshaw has illustrated the walls with biro drawings
depicting the process of making fresh pasta, inspired by the traditional design of the restaurant’s
tableware.
