Zapote
Restaurant

Mexico City, Mexico
2013

Transformation of the ground floor of an apartment building in Roma neighborhood, to create a new restaurant that follows the “slow food” gastronomic movement, that promotes a culture of high standard food and respect for its ingredients. In the same way, the design of the restaurant starts from the idea of ​​highlighting the nature of the materials, its simplicity and authenticity, through a wooden envelope immersed in the space, and inspired by the traditional silhouette of a house, a symbol that becomes the main design gesture, defining its character and bringing warmth to the main room.
