Article source: oficina INVISIBLE Is there where fismuler want to be? A semibasement of 420m2 at Sagasta street in Madrid, with such a small entry that seems to access a cave. An interior without scarcely light, with windows translucent and almost hidden by plaster moldings, with almost no space to move through a maze of hallways, cavities, toilets, two rooms after turning down a few stairs, with a ceiling too low … an almost claustrophobic. But yes, with a very large kitchen and almost ready to use directly by the cooks.  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa

The challenge was very interesting, to convert a Madrid restaurant symbol of opulence and the economic bubble in a place where the values of austerity, socialization, simplicity and authenticity go hand by hand with haute cuisine with reasonable prices. The glove was thrown.  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa fismuler born from a trip that Nino Redruello and Patxi Zumarraga did across Europe discovering a new Nordic cuisine rotating towards simplicity, towards the product, the naturalness of the dishes is the essence. Sustainability, respect for nature, which results in healthy seasonal recipes announced in a brief letter consists of dishes to share, as well as the democratization of haute cuisine are the concepts expressed in fismuler very subtly, without exhibitions.  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa The concept was very clear, so clear that a design team was done with Pingpong architecture and Alejandra Pombo together with Patxi and Nino, where debugging ideas and actions in the project was the main note throughout the creative process.  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa Simplicity and austerity are the basic aesthetic concepts where design is centered. The customer experience should focus on gastronomy, very subtle architecture is demonstrating the concepts that are embodied in the dishes, so fismuler experienced from the entrance to the dessert in the same way.  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa Strategies and main project actions respond to the materialization of the main concepts, together with a non conventional operation. Fismuler is democratic, where the work of cooks, waiters and customers spaces merge, the kitchen gets out through the dining room and the tables get into the kitchen.  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa The building at sagasta streethas over a hundred years old and deserves to be treated with respect, so the first action at the local was to realize a Building Archaeology, identifying the countless number of spaces, patios, walls, niches, ceilings, moldings, windows, siding, flooring and existing furniture. With respect it is doing without unnecessary, the “soul of the place” is part of the design project.

To maximize the continuum, it is earned 40% more natural light replacing existing windows and translucent insulating glass paneled by fixed wooden frame. Existing windows are adapted and modified to be reused as metal frames inside doors, windows and partitions of toilets courtyards.  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa The experience becomes an accesible tour by ramps with different levels from the street, creating a sense of fluidity in space. This tour shows subtly concepts austerity, simplicity and naturalness through sequentially display spaces of the cellar, the kitchen, the rooms, patios. And the qualities of materials, from the entrance with adobe wall texture plaster coatings, to concrete paving tile recovered in the corridor of the toilets.

With this NObarra traditional uses of a restaurant in a dining / kitchen hybridizing. In turn, approach, for the curious, the tables to achieve pass share the dishes with the kitchen.

Fried and saturated fats do not come into their culinary formula, coffee is prepared in the most natural way possible and to have the Ph factor into account in food. The interior space is this important concept from the project, Fengshui and geobiological study as well as in the materiality of space, natural materials, wood, stone, steel, and finished with varnish floors and walls of plant origin.  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa Responsible reduction strategy appears from the levels of performance to energy efficiency; installing inverter in air conditioning and industrial refrigeration equipment, a heat exchanger in the ventilation system and a carefully controlled LED lighting throughout the restaurant culminates an intense energy study.  Image Courtesy © Luz estudio e Ilumisa The concept of reuse is taken into existing materials, managing everything not needed at Arturo restaurant and transfering to a recycling plant, reducing the energy footprint of the performance. And also it takes into account the objects to be introduced into the premises with recovered chairs and treated to return to what they were decades ago, and tables made from reclaimed wood from demolition. Now only enjoy the experience, Bon appetit!  Image Courtesy © oficina INVISIBLE  Image Courtesy © oficina INVISIBLE  Image Courtesy © oficina INVISIBLE  Image Courtesy © oficina INVISIBLE
