Working off the existing structure, the intention was to expand the space and connect it with the terrain, working in both sea and desert views. The earth-colored walls, with their rounded corners and pieces of folk art nestled into niches, recall the adobe constructions typical of the region.

Pebbles form an organic pattern on the floor, leading up to the central bar that connects the restaurant’s multiple environments. Massive floor-to-ceiling shelves held up by steel cables surround the space, holding ceramic vases made in the region; they reinforce the horizontality of the patio as well as framing the landscape.

The furnishings establish a dialogue between Mexican design and contemporary pieces, clad in natural textures, fibers, and rustic woods. Textiles by the Navajo people are spread throughout, further helping to set the scene. The landscaping outside the restaurant features the plants and colors of the region, with the garden encircling a large deck with sofas, tables, and chairs.
