Mexico City is very well known for its restaurant culture. The Polanco area -where
most of the five and more stars hotels are located- have seen the blossoming of
very interesting epicurean proposals. In this same area Serrano Monjaraz
Arquitectos were asked to develop the interior design for a new restaurant. The
Chefs and owners of Jaso come from New
York and they wanted to imprint their expertise and savoire flare not only through the food,
but also from the atmosphere of this global restaurant.
Step by step the concept was designed based on the
sensorial elements: fire, air, water and sound. The materials play a very
important role in this project, wood, marble and iron are mixed in different
percentages and combinations in search for a very natural atmosphere. The
clients are greeted at the reception with a big tree trunk that was rescued and
incorporated into the layout.
Being a former house from the late 40s, the project
had to be adapted to fit this two level construction. In the main floor there
is a lounge and bar area used both for reception and for the clients that only
stop for drinks. After, a big double height salon is founded and ends in a
fantastic interior garden. This ample dinning room has a very warm atmosphere

For the floors a very interesting combination of stone and wood was achieved.
