The project marks the second restaurant of the client, in the city. Designed to build upon the established identity while introducing a fresh interpretation suited to its new context. Conceived as a contemporary tapas restaurant, the space emphasizes conviviality and the dynamic social ritual of sharing small plates.
The restaurant occupies a compact, elongated ground-floor space within an old neighbourhood, integrating contemporary materials and detailing into a historical urban fabric. The interior layout follows a linear organization, optimizing the narrow footprint to create a clear spatial sequence — from the public dining area at the entrance to the service and preparation zones toward the rear.
A palette of terrazzo tiles on the floor anchors the space with texture and a tactile rhythm, while metal profiled sheets, with white pearl finish, on the walls and ceilings, reflecting light and creating a subtle play of industrial refinement. Above, the ceiling reveals a concrete egg-box structure, introduced both as an acoustic strategy and as a sculptural element that reinforces the architectural identity of the interior. The counter, finished in deep oxblood tones, acts as a focal point — a bold chromatic accent contrasting with the restrained textures surrounding it.
Through a restrained yet expressive use of materials, the project establishes a dialogue between the raw character of the old neighbourhood and the crafted precision of contemporary architecture, creating an atmosphere that is both intimate and vibrant.
