Pilsa by Dani García

by

Last December we completed one of the most original projects, thematically speaking, that we have carried out in Pilsa in recent years. This is Dani Garcia’s restaurant, located in the Hotel Puente Romano, Marbella.

The 340 m2 restaurant is an open concept space, without physical barriers between the kitchen and the dining room, so that the visual contact between cooks and diners is constant. This is a detail that we are applying more and more in our projects. Dani García was very clear that the spectacular space where the kitchen is located should be the light of the whole place, contrasting with the colors and elements of the rest of the restaurant.

In addition to all of the above, Pilsa had one more challenge to achieve… and that was to make the newDani Garcíase restaurantbecome a unique experience for everyone who walks through its front door, making them feel like the protagonist of a real “children’s story”. Therefore, fantasy and children’s decor had to permeate every corner of the restaurant. Precisely the uniqueness of this project is to have created a true fantasy and fairytale environment, playing with the contrast of colors and materials used in the design.

Pilsa was in charge of the kitchen, which was clad in Dekton, a material with unique characteristics in the market and with infinite possibilities. From an operational point of view, the Dektona surface givesthe countertops and walls of the restaurant’s impressive kitchen a series of unique technical characteristics. The first is the safety and hygiene offered by this material in contact with food, which was a determining factor in the choice of Dektona for this project. The kitchen or “the light” of the restaurant, as the Malaga chef himself defines it, illuminates the rest of the premises thanks to this material. This pure white contrasts perfectly with the green of the natural plants that cover the walls as a vertical garden and with the dark, industrial-looking color of the floor.

The renowned Chef, as well as Pilsa, were very satisfied with the result obtained. It was a real pleasure to work hand in hand with a professional like Dani Garcia, and luckily we can tell you that soon you will know new facilities in which we are immersed with this great chef.

Last December we finished one of our most original and creative projects in the last years. It involved a restaurant which has been designed for famous chef Dani Garcia, in Puente Romano Hotel, Marbella (Malaga).

340 square meters of open space without physical barriers between the kitchen and dining room were built where there is visual contact between chef and customers. This idea is increasingly been applied in our projects. Dani Garcia was very clear about having the cuisine as the source light of this spectacular space by contrasting the colors and the elements of the restaurant. The kitchen was built in Dekton, white material which perfectly combine not only with nature plants on the wall, but also with the floor.

In addition, Pilsa had another challenge, turning the restaurant into a unique experience to everybody who comes into it. The main idea was to make the client into the protagonist of a children’s book. Therefore, there should be fantasy and children decoration in each corner of the space.

From an operational point of view, Dekton material offers unique characteristics, such as safety and hygiene, essential characteristics to choose this material.

The renowned chef and Pilsa were very pleased with the result. It was a pleasure to work hand-in-hand with Dani Garcia who is a great professional in this sector. Soon you will be able to know more about Pilsa and Dani Garcia joint projects.
