The building nestles into its rocky, sloped site, so people enter from the upper level. New roof tiles were made to match the originals, but do not yet have the weathered look of those on neighboring buildings.   Photo © Joao Morgado Boa Nova Restaurant and Teahouse The dining room once again glows with the reddish embrace of floors and ceilings made of afzelia, a tropical hardwood from Africa.   Photo © Joao Morgado Boa Nova Restaurant and Teahouse New copies of the original tables, chairs, trolleys, and lamps were made with old wood. A two-story atrium leads to a small bar and the tearoom on one side and the dining room on the other.   Photo © Joao Morgado Boa Nova Restaurant and Teahouse The dining room faces the ocean, to the west. In good weather, floor-to-ceiling windows can retract into the floor to open the room to a terrace and views.   Photo © Joao Morgado Boa Nova Restaurant and Teahouse The restaurant and teahouse when the project opened in 1963.   Photo courtesy 'lavaro Siza Boa Nova Restaurant and Teahouse The site before the restaurant was built.   Photo courtesy 'lavaro Siza Boa Nova Restaurant and Teahouse The dining room shortly after it first opened.   Photo courtesy 'lavaro Siza Boa Nova Restaurant and Teahouse The building right before restoration work began.   Photo courtesy 'lavaro Siza Boa Nova Restaurant and Teahouse Image courtesy 'lvaro Siza Vieira Boa Nova Restaurant and Teahouse Image courtesy 'lvaro Siza Vieira Boa Nova Restaurant and Teahouse Image courtesy 'lvaro Siza Vieira
