Two chefs needed to develop a project in a kitchen located on the second floor of a shopping gallery. Although a small bar was set up in the kitchen to serve diners, it primarily functioned as a large delivery kitchen specializing in oriental fusion cuisine.

The idea was to create a restaurant by expanding the current 15m² kitchen. For this, the two adjoining spaces were rented, achieving a larger 60m² L-shaped area.

The kitchen remained intact, and the adjoining spaces were transformed into dining areas. The space closest to the kitchen was turned into a long bar that opened to both the kitchen and the bar area. This space maintained the initial spirit of feeling part of the kitchen.

The second space served as the table area, which was also designed as the access point and bathroom area.

The budget was limited, which is why it was decided to carry out the project using drywall panels as interior cladding and investing a bit more in wooden furniture pieces. The lack of natural light made artificial lighting play a key role, working indirectly and trying to create a faint atmosphere, playing with the sober proposal of shapes and materials.
