Design of a Wine bar and day café with Mediterranean and Mexican design influences.

Client: Santo Group

For the design of this project I drew inspiration from the liveliness and sensibility of Italian standing bars and the communal spirit and the warm embrace of old-school Mexican cantinas.

It combines my personal European background, where I grew up and the time I lived and worked in Mexico.

The cafe during the day and wine bar at night required a design approach where the finishes and colors allowed a use that feels welcoming during the day and lively during the evening hours. It is designed as a place to bring community together.
