新专营权的基础是一种全新的方法，主要关注的是确保每个空间都具有自己的个性。该设计采用灵活的方案，通过整合不同的文化和艺术表现形式，加强正常的商业餐厅活动，从而为阅读小组、图书演示、声学音乐会和品酒活动提供合适的空间。共同的思路是利用整个场地的空间来推广艺术和文学，包括一个画廊，供不同的艺术家在一定时间内展示他们的作品。这个项目的具体部分包括安装在露台上的内墙，从你走进餐厅的那一刻起就创建了一个焦点视觉点，为艺术家展示他们的作品提供了一个平台。

The new franchise is based on an entirely new approach where the primary concern is to ensure that each space takes on its own personality. The design features a flexible program where normal commercial restaurant activities are enhanced by integrating different cultural and artistic expressions, thus providing a suitable space for reading groups, book presentations, acoustic concerts, and wine tasting events. The common thread consists of using the spaces distributed all through the venue to promote art and literature, including a gallery where different artists can exhibit their work for certain periods of time. This specific part of the project included an interior wall put up in the patioto create a focal visual point from the moment you walk into restaurant that offers a platform for artists to exhibit their works.

这栋建筑位于墨西哥城La Condesa社区最繁忙的街道之一，从长期的废弃状态中恢复过来，并以尽可能保持原有布局的方式进行了改造。外墙进行了翻新和改造，以适应新的用途，其原始材料保存在整个房子和花园中，作为对建筑物历史性质的“见证”，包括喷泉、长凳和边界墙，此外还保存了最初建造时的建筑技术。

The building is located on one of the busiest avenues in La Condesa neighborhood in Mexico City and was brought back from a prolonged state of abandonment and remodeled in a way that preserved its original layout to the extent possible. The facade was renovated and adapted to its new use, and its original materials were kept throughout the house and garden to serve as “testimonies” to the building’s historical nature, with examples including the fountain, benches, and boundary walls, in addition to the conservation of construction techniques from the era in which it was first built.

一组开口使太阳光能很好地穿透室内，窗户的作品被复制来安排建筑语言，无论是在建筑内部还是在独特的庭院里，其原始喷泉的轮廓都被尊重、重新诠释，并与为新设计创造的轮廓相协调。新的水镜喷泉周围有充足的空间供亲密的集体就餐之用，其目的是通过创造一种环境，使人们能够沉思、放松、丰富的植被、阴凉的区域，以及餐厅位置提供的自然、清新和凉爽的空气流动，从而为人们的饮食方式增添一种多样化的元素。这些空间的最初建筑布局得到了尊重。这意味着房子的结构已经被尽可能少的改变了。例如，对厨房进行了改造，以适应其原来的面积，并确保其空间和功能的优化。

A set of openings allow the sun light to penetrate well into the interior, and the window works were replicated to arrange the architectural language both inside the building and in the distinctive patio, whose original fountain’s silhouette has been respected, reinterpreted, and adapted in harmony with the outlines created for the new design. Set up around the new water-mirror fountain is an ample space for intimate group dining intended to add an element of diversity to the way people eat by creating an environment that allows for contemplation, relaxation, plentiful vegetation, shaded areas, and the natural fresh and cool air flows provided by the restaurant’s location.The original architectural layout of the spaces has been respected, which means that the structure of the house has been altered as little as possible. For example, the kitchen was remodeled to fit its original area and ensure the optimization of its space and functionality.

该项目开发过程中的一个关键考虑因素是回收和回收用于设计家具、原始窗户、陶瓷灰泥地板和木镶板的材料。

A key consideration in the development of this project was the recovery and recycling of materials that were used to design the furniture, the original windows, the ceramic plaster floors, and the wood paneling.

室内地板像打磨的混凝土，露台上铺着彩色铺砌的石头，有坚实的基础和中空的空间，作为种植植物种植绿色植物和有机花园。

The interior flooring was made to resemble polished concrete, with the patio decked in colored paved stones with solid bases and hollow spaces strategically created as planters to grow greens and an organic garden.
