The Service centre contains a caf\u00e9, a kiosk, and restrooms. The cafe is only open in the summer season, from May to September. During the low season the Service centre will be closed and could occassionally be used by the local population as a community centre.
\nThe structure is based on a concrete element, with the same geometry as the element on the viewing platform on the roadside. The triangular prefabricated concrete element is floor, wall, pillar and roof in one element. This element acts as a support for the central roof. The elements define areas where tables can be placed, and the geometric flexibility resembling a bicycle chain makes it possible to give almost all these small rooms, contained in each element, the qualities of a corner space, usually the most sought after space in a caf\u00e9 with a view.<\/p>\n
