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.

Thus creating an environment that reflects the body’s complex elegance while prioritizing comfort and practicality for its inhabitants.

Advanced 3D technology and software were used to achieve this vision, moving across the different computational programs to capture the desired organic form. Drawing parallels with the natural world, we then incorporated creases and textures reminiscent of weathering into the design. Then, the latest production methods were employed to translate this from a digital 3D model to reality, bridging the gap between the digital and physical realm. The form’s “exoskeleton” became the blueprint for the steel infrastructure, which was assembled by local, skilled artisans and then finished with layers of stucco.
