The restaurant presents itself as an architectural composition that merges space, flavor, and memory into a unique sensory experience. Textures such as concrete slats, straw panels, brise-soleils, and rammed earth create a welcoming and striking atmosphere, where materiality symbolizes the encounter between Brazilian and Italian roots. Green Guatemala stone and custom green-toned concrete evoke Italian traditions, while rammed earth and charred biriba wood celebrate Brazilian heritage and the transformative essence of cuisine. Natural light, filtered through large openings, strengthens the connection with surrounding vegetation, while wood, corten steel, and natural fabrics compose a warm palette that blends with aromas and flavors. Double-height ceilings and a mezzanine expand spatiality, fostering gatherings, while the open kitchen reveals the culinary process as a spectacle. Lighting highlights textures, dishes, and atmospheres, making architecture not just a backdrop but an active participant in the gastronomic experience. Each meal becomes a ritual of pleasure, encounter, and memory.
