Located in CDMX, the project focused on adapting a Spanish business to a contemporary and local Mexican context. The facade consists of a lattice made of concrete pieces integrating a green wall, allowing light to enter the wooden pergola terrace, isolating it from the urban context, controlling what is seen from the inside to the outside and vice versa. Inside, the existence of an old myrtle tree is respected, integrated into the covered terrace, accompanied by two laurel trees place by the firm.
