MASHUP is all about transparency.

First there's the spot : Empty commercial premises at the ground floopr of the Nantes Design School, double heighted and four sides glazed. Then there's the program : An insertion restaurant, bar, micro-brewery driven by Tête Haute, insertion brewery that we don't need to present anymmore in Nantes. So we imaginated a simple and clear project where all the processes are exposed behind the large glazings : Along the northern boulevard, the local beer is brewed in seven stainless steel tanks of which four are perched at 6m over the bar's counter. At the south, we cook facing the sun behing the large atrium  pierced in the aluminim shell whith its rounded angles and edges.

From the kitchen to the brewery, a long organic ribbon smoothly articulates and links production spaces. The lite earth wall is the background of a glowing stailless steel bar where localy food and brewings are served, facing the double heighted hall. Then there's the upper floor, a warm mezzanine with wooden sloping ceiling that we access from a majestic steel strairway whose curves embrace room's large glazings one's. This large turquoise ribbon invites curious visitors to climb to walkway overhanging the welcoming hall at one side and the shining brewery at the other side.

MASHUP is a feast for the eyes and the taste ! Cheers !
