Arquitectural design in Guria restaurant is a contemporary interpretation of old Basque homes. This concept, under express request of the owners, is the continuity of a well proved and successful formula developed in the original spanish premises. The project began by generating a triangular mesh shape modulated on the base, from where the geometric and decorative interior style was developed. The eclectic mix of natural materials, mahogany , iron and exotic marbles recalls the warm ambiance of Basque architecture. From the foyer we reach the lounge, with a green rain forest marble bar, a stone fireplace, wooden mahogany floors, modern table lamps and framed photographs (which are actually video screens). Behind this reception area there’s the main hall where a central wooden column rises as the dominant element with “arms” pretending to be holding the structure (picture on the left) . Great limestone walls are the perfect scenario of Fernando Aceves Humana masterpiece which represents dusk in
San Sebastian.
