TZUCO® | Cadena+Asociados

Cadena Concept Design’s unique approach towards the project becomes a three dimensional and immersive journey through a space of strange beauty where design evokes the idea of life arising from absolute nothingness.
The Mexico chronicled in this concept is an bare-bones experience, where richness is lived through the purity of materials and their cultural context.
A place where time and memory are encapsulated was imagined, a space where Gaytan’s Huitzuco could be expressedthrough man-created fossils and handmade artisan objects, a unique imaginarium of rustic beauty contained in poetic receptacles.
Honest and coarse materials are displayed surrounded with Huitzuco’s endemic thorns;
these objects are contained in boxes placed among the complex wooden structure in the space, making the restaurant interiors the perfect frame to display the fresh, beautiful and colorful culinary creations of Carlos Gaytán.

“Within the simple and austere interior, Gaytán’s culinary imagination blooms in a breathtaking way.” Ignacio Cadena

The design will unfold inspired in -Ramales- natural formations that make the thorns of the Huizache Tree, The restaurant’s wooden framework calls back to a vernacular Mexican Architecture creating a system that will endow the space with character and warmth.
TZUCO® will project a Mexico that treasures cultural heritage through creative hands that express wisdom; a wisdom that nurtures imagination that births a new contemporary expression of Mexican creativity.
A journey of sensory and evocative ancestry, hidden in the purity of its forms and textures, defined by nature and sometimes, by the imaginative hands that shape them... Welcome to the amazing world of TZUCO®.
