The site is intended as a basket containing different experiences; the tissue is opened and closed depending on the acoustic and the different views of the city from within.

Also it contains several heights that not only look good but also responds to the sound waves to optimize the acoustics to the different zones of the place and can manage the sound to make a better feeling for the costumer.

Besides the wooden basket, El Fabuloso also counts with a restaurant that contains an open kitchen that have as a central spot a wooden oven that gives to the restaurant a more chill feeling that you will have inside the bar.

Starting from this premise we worked with three basic materials: Wood, Metal and Concrete. We sought to push the boundaries of the use of these materials, to explore them and learn from them.
