CASE STUDY
from-home gathering, where each floor and room represents a different chapter of a worldly, welltravelled host’ s life. The restaurant unfolds like a private residence, where each space is an intimate, artfilled vignette, inviting guests to explore and connect as if moving through someone’ s treasured home.
The bold colours and geometric designs throughout the restaurant are inspired by the vibrant colour palette of Pedro Almodóvar’ s films. Luxurious materials are layered with bespoke artwork, creating moments of discovery and reflection through texture, mirror and intimacy throughout the space.
Eva Longoria, Partner, Madrid Office at Rockwell Group comments:“ For this project, we drew inspiration from our city’ s domestic charm, art traditions and vibrant street culture. Combining these elements into a layered collage of colour, geometry and texture has created a restaurant that feels both cosmopolitan and deeply personal, a tribute to hospitality as a form of storytelling.”
The mezzanine space features an existing Versailles parquet floor, which has been restored and revitalised. The kitchen creates an intimate and casual atmosphere, with geometric blue and white tiling and communal counter-height tables. A blue satin-finish ceiling reveals an oversized yellow lacquered metal lamp that resembles a kitchen hood. The library bar and lounge offer guests a cosy retreat, evoking warmth and comfort through seating and materiality.
Wood shelving, art and tactile fabrics create a collector’ s environment, with a palette of wood, leather and striking patterns. The bar features a leather tambour die and a stone top, anchored by original columns, with custom chandeliers inspired by Madrid streetlamps. Stairs from the library lead to the main dining room and bar on the second floor. The outdoor terrace dining area boasts umbrellas and colourful furniture, forming a natural extension of the indoor restaurant.
