Bored with the clichéd aesthetic of Mexican restaurants, we felt the need to search deeper than the typical, noisy, over saturated and deliberately worn down interiors. They turned their heads to the desert and the overwhelming feeling of calmness, warmth and nostalgia they all experience while gazing at a beautiful sunrise or sunset. 

Studio chose a limited material scheme, earthy tones, tactile textures and a subtle, sculptural approach to detail. After all ‘less is more’. This minimalist approach ties up perfectly with the modernist city of Gdynia and a certain Mexican architect and his unique style. 

Throughout the day the overall mood shifts dramatically. Full of natural light, laid-back during the day but mysterious and esoteric after dark. This reflects the dual nature of Luis — a cantina by day and cocktail bar at night.
