Article source: Muñoz Arquitectos Asociados Hermana República is a tasting place for Patito a beer made in a local brewery. Behind this tasting spot is the factory where the beer is made. There are two conceptual axis that ruled this project; the first one was to create an environment that has a bound with the beer production, an industrial environment that is also a comfortable place to drink beer. The plan was to create a place that had an environment of a yucatecan cantina and a good restaurant where you can go and have a quality meal.  Image Courtesy © Marcos Betanzos

The formal and constructive concept of this point of sale has strong roots on the constructive systems and the formal space of construction in Yucatán.

This gabion walls hold a big metallic box that also evokes the big structures in which henequen and other products from our region where stored.
