This was a proposal for an interior design project of redesigning the space of an old building. The theme was Spanish Restaurant. Due to the large space that we had to redesign we found different destinations fro each room: a tapas bar (sandwich bar), a restaurant, a Vinoteca (wine cellar/store) , the kitchen area and the exterior garden. I was inspired by the culture of Spain related to interior design and more for their specific "Vinotecas" and "Tapas Bars" .These two are directly related to their culture for "Jamon"(the Spanish ham used in many dishes and Spanish style sandwiches / tapas) , and the their culture for Wine .In addition due to the existence of an exterior garden I proposed a redesign of it with specific South American "Hacienda" style of furniture and decoration.
The main reason for this proposal was the lack of such a place in the area of the city which could be a fresh idea and grab a great opportunity in the local market.
The rooms are interconnected so the whole space is a complex of rooms each with a different destination (tasting , eating , drinking, shopping,relaxing ) but all in the same theme:Spanish , Mediterranean, vine, tapas.
The materials and textures used supposed to give a simple and massive look,but also warm and light. Therefore for the interior spaces we went with beige stucco for the walls. For the floors and decoration of the walls the ceramic reddish tilling was a must. As for the furniture and objects we chose wrought iron, leather and massive wood like oak for the tables, chairs, benches ,the doors, the bar and other cabinets and shelves.For the decorative objects we went with ceramic pottery , wooden barrels or parts,glass and iron "modernist" chandeliers in the restaurant and tapas bar, and a massive one in the wine cellar.
For the garden I tried to obtain the South American "Hacienda" style with orange stucco for the walls , ceramic tiling for the pavement , stone fountains , tables made of wood and specific colored tiles for the tops, and some exotic vegetation as well as a lot of flowers put on sandy grounds.
I worked together with another designer friend. The brainstorming , the ideation process and the choosing of the materials and the furniture was naturally together.For the technical drawing, the presentation and explanatory boards , the modeling and rendering of the spaces I did the "Vinoteca" and the terrace.
The items more unusual to model where the "Jamonera" ( a form of clamp fixed to a wooden stand, specifically designed to hold a leg of jamón Serrano (Spanish cured ham) whilst it is sliced) and the tiled tables for the garden.
