DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
A forestial design proposal Set against a green backdrop , with organic-inspired flooring and abundant vegetation , the firm incorporated textured wooden elements with flowing shapes that serve as benches and dividers . These elements evoke a forest-like atmosphere , adding warmth and creating inviting paths that soften the space .
Upon entering beneath a vibrant , plant-filled ceiling , guests are greeted by a suspended , reflective element resembling a tropical river , surrounded by sparkling glass lamps and lush vegetation .
Reflective finishes in metal , glass , and ceramics enhance the rainforest ambiance , complemented by the building ’ s glass façade .
Vibrant colours , inspired by tropical fruits and birds , add energy through furniture and the bar ’ s undulating front , covered in colourful tiles reminiscent of Latin American textiles . The grand bar extends throughout the space , energizing the room with its lively activity , drinks area , and open kitchen .
The floor-to-ceiling glass façade is partially covered with wicker , rope , and wood panels , filtering sunlight like leaves and creating cozy shadows .
