Contralto

Restaurant
Northern Mexico, 2024

Located in the historic center, directly facing a 125-year-old theater, this restaurant project is conceived as a spatial dialogue with its urban counterpart.

The architectural envelope was developed to frame and direct views toward the theater’s original façade, establishing a constant visual relationship between interior and city.

The concept positions the dining room as a stage: guests occupy the podium, while the historic theater becomes the silent backdrop. Through controlled geometry, restrained materials, and precise orientation, the project transforms dining into an experience of presence, perspective, and architectural focus.

Architecture & Interior Design: Francisco Herrera & Paulina Giacomán
