ESCĀ CUEVA Restaurant / Badie Architects

Esca Cueva is an innovative restaurant design that redefines the dining experience. This project seeks to create a space that is intimately connected to nature, blurring the boundaries between architecture and organic forms. Taking its inspiration from the intricate beauty of the female body, Cueva translates our organic form and its curves into a rationalized design that fosters a unique and inviting space. Creating an environment that reflects the body's complex elegance while prioritizing comfort and practicality for its inhabitants. The final design achieved a holistic effect, seamlessly blending and transforming the restaurant's previously rigid Cartesian layout. This sculpted space blurs the lines between the user and their surroundings. Organic forms throughout the design evoke a sense of visual peace with depressions, creases, and strategically placed artificial lighting.
