The project aims to create a space of convergence and visibility that allows interaction between the restaurant, bar and event forum with the urban environment of the Roma neighborhood, so that both the interior and the exterior are perceived in a fluid and accessible way, so that this space becomes a showcase of artistic and social activity that nourishes and strengthens the community identity of the area.


Strategically located on a corner on Monterrey Street, in the Roma neighborhood of Mexico City, this restaurant, bar and event venue is conceived as a space for visual and cultural connection with the outside. The open façade allows passersby to see the interior dynamics from the street, creating a constant invitation to be part of the space. At the same time, those inside enjoy the city as a backdrop, integrating the vibrant urban context as part of the experience.


This project is conceived as a center of exchange and communion for the artistic and cultural community that characterizes the Roma neighborhood. By hosting events, exhibitions and presentations, the space functions as a flexible forum that adapts to various cultural activities, enriching the cultural and artistic offering of the area and providing an accessible space for the expression of different disciplines.

  1. Connection and Visibility: The transparency of the façade allows for visual interaction that eliminates barriers, promoting the integration of the space with the community. This fosters a culture of inclusion and curiosity about artistic activity, generating a sense of belonging and participation for the residents and visitors of the colony.

  2. Revitalization of the Environment: The constant activity of the place, which includes cultural and social events, contributes to energizing the urban life of the Roma neighborhood, regenerating the public space and attracting greater participation from the local community and other areas.

  3. Boosting the Artistic Community: By becoming a showcase for talent and creativity, the project supports emerging and established local artists, generating a space for cultural exchange and strengthening the creative identity of the neighborhood.

  4. Promoting Local Trade and Sustainability: By promoting events and activities within an environment that celebrates the local, the project encourages conscious and local consumption, benefiting both the local economy and community cohesion.


The design of the space integrates transparent materials and open structures that reinforce the concept of integration and accessibility. The façade and high windows not only provide light and visibility, but also highlight the project as an urban landmark that invites the community to interact. This approach contributes to the regeneration of the community, facilitating spontaneous encounters and shared activities that strengthen the sense of collectivity in the Roma neighborhood, where art, gastronomy and culture become the axes of identity and social coexistence.
