Materials

Hand-troweled lime plaster in burnt sienna. Reclaimed oak beams from a 17th-century granary. Cast iron, smoked glass, raw linen.

Light

Two sources only: the hearth at the centre of the counter, and a single tall taper at each setting. The room is never brighter than the food.

Sound

A custom playlist by composer Luis Tinoco. Strings, breath, the long pause. No screens, no notifications, no announcements.
