Four years after opening their first Malandrino bar in San Sebastian, its owners decided to open a new one in the city. A new project created with the aim of keeping the main essence of the bar: creating a young, warm and welcoming atmosphere to enjoy their delicious and authentic Italian specialties.
Our proposal seeks to open the bar to the street inviting to enter. In a city like San Sebastian with a mild but a rainy climate, we decided to create a covered terrace as a porch with a wooden pergola where climbing vines enhance the feeling of an outdoor garden.

It has an intimate, sophisticated, theatrical and simple style.
It was a refit. To fulfill the function of concert hall, 90% of the internal walls were demolished; nearly 60% of the reception floor was raised to the level of the rest of the space; existing bathrooms have become a part of the bar; the toilets have been shifted to the left. The toilets were added in numbers, urinals and tubs. An accessible single toilet, with washroom for the outside balcony and cleaning support area was also added. The space received two dressing rooms with private bathrooms, industrial kitchen, administrative room, staff bathrooms, storage area and raised floors in the lounge of the 03 sofa areas and stage areas.
The existing ramp was demolished and redone with another shape and correct slope to meet accessibility requests by law.

Intentionally excessive, the interior of bar vinvinvin (French for winewinewine) pays homage to the joy and vitality of “natural wine”. The project began with a wine tasting. Our clients brought a good bottle of Bordeaux as well as a natural wine from Strekov, Slovakia. After tasting both, they explained that typically wine bars were designed to serve classic wines like the Bordeaux but that they would be serving natural wines and wanted that to be reflected in the design.
Natural wine is made from organically grown hand picked grapes using yeast native to the vineyard, and contains no additives typically found conventional wine. The result is a natural, unpredictable, and bright flavor. This influenced our choice of colors, materials, and the crafting of spaces for sharing and celebration.
A small-sized space has been transformed into a space that is collected, but at the same time airy.
On the ground floor the cocktail bar is the space of movement, suitable for a cocktail or a quick lunch. The quality of the space suggested working on the wall, creating a light stone parietal sculpture, which would brighten the environment and become a focal point.
On the upper level, the room offers a cozy environment, almost a domestic living room: a large bench covered with cushions underlines the central wall, a system of shelves at the height of the tables rebalances the proportions of the frescoed room, large mirrors enlarge the room reflecting the light coming from the large openings, on the floor a woven vinyl floor, gives the impression of a large carpet.
