Despite its functional mandate, BBT Hilltop is more than just a fast food restaurant in Kuwait City. In fact, it's a building that returns the occupied land to the city with a new public space: a panoramic terrace usable for various purposes, complete with umbrellas and a slide for kids. This tiered roof structure is the main element of the project: it is accessible to everyone during operating hours and, with appropriate equipment, can host screenings and various types of performances. It's also a cozy leisure space providing a 360-degree view of the surrounding urban area.

The multifunctional terrace of BBT is already today a feature deeply engaged in communication with the city, compensating for the lack of attractiveness of the ground-level areas. In fact, the only element qualifying the ground spaces is the podium supporting the outdoor tables, sheltered by the projecting canopy. Only in the future will it be possible to assess whether the cutting effect created by the drivable aisle for the drive-in will be outweighed by an advancement of the city in the areas closest to the building, which, at the moment, aside from the parking, remain undecided. Therefore, the relationship with the city is only regained by entering the building and climbing the red spiral staircase to emerge onto the roof garden, a sort of floating platform adrift amidst skyscrapers, vacant blocks, and ongoing construction sites.

The other parts of the building operate on a dual track. The first focuses on functionality, as evidenced by the treatment of openings for delivering burgers to those dining in or picking up in their cars, or those strategically placed to facilitate natural ventilation. The second manages the balanced relationship between volumes and surfaces, as seen in the upstands over the delivery area or in the dematerialization of the parapets. There is also a careful study aimed at creating a pop image, evident in the chromatic choices, which, however, never conceals the true nature of an architecture relying on food service to create a new urban experience with a space of quality.
