Located next to one of the entrances to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, this new Grupo Arzábal enclave redefines the experience of the Madrid neo-tavern. A completely raw space that offered a blank canvas to project a flexible, sophisticated environment deeply connected with its location.
The cross-shaped floor plan articulates the project and defines its path. It not only organizes the space into different zones, but also directs the experience: it invites, connects, separates, and gathers.
Materiality is expressed in terms of contrast: stucco, wood, black steel, and dark ceramics generate a dense but fluid atmosphere, where each texture responds to a precise intention.
The warm, focused lighting changes throughout the day, setting the pace and energy of each service.
Arzábal Bernabéu is a comprehensive project, where interior design not only accompanies the experience, but defines it. A restaurant that looks outwards, but is affirmed from within.
