Mari Gold is an Indian-Mexican food restaurant and apartment located in the San Miguel Chapultepec neighborhood, Mexico City. The three-story building was remodeled to integrate the new program. Naso design intentions were aimed at preserving the spatial character of the existing building.

The ground floor serves as a restaurant and contains a kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor patio, the second level contains the main kitchen, office, and research library, and the third level serves as an apartment for rent on the digital platform. Airbnb. The three levels share two triple-height spaces; the first, an exterior patio that is separated from the second by a concrete latticework.

The second is a space where the vertical circulation is located, a staircase that allows the user to be shown different views of the patio through the latticework and also different interior spaces of the building. The spatial environment of the restaurant tries to optimize the integration of natural light, as well as forging a community atmosphere through the long and fixed tables of the restaurant that the user is forced to share with the rest of the diners.

The project explores the integration of yellow tones that break with the neutral tones of the environment, leaving behind the color of the mari gold or cempasuchil flower that is shared by both cultures: the Indian and the Mexican.
