Nana | Mexico City
Nana is located in the heart of Mexico City, inside an iconic building from architect
Teodoro González de León, a classic in contemporary Mexican architecture. The
concept revolves around the arrival experience, creating a feeling of grandeur for
guests as they walk in to find an outstanding double-height space that reveals
the structural elements. A central planter with tall natural trees directs the view
toward the soft lighting spread across the ceiling. A wall with long and heavy
curtains and bespoke lighting fixtures complement upholstered chairs that pair
with communal leather booths and wooden tables. A two-colored terrazzo floor in
blue and cream covers the entire surface and creates a frame toward the central
pieces. The intention was to balance the inherent rough elements of the property
with intimacy and elegance. Beyond the trees, the small bar is home to the best
mixologist in town. Nana's menu features the fine food you would find at your
grandmother's home.

Sempai | Mexico City

Wood, granite, and stone make
the bar the focal point in Sempai

Sempai offers an Omakase experience attended directly by the chef. Japanese by
conception, the design integrates a style of minimalist sophistication. A large bar
in light wood and granite runs along the small restaurant. Dark tones, emphasized
by serene lighting, generate an atmosphere of mystery and relaxation based on
the premise that Japanese cuisine harmonizes with the shadow and is inseparable
from darkness. A large terracotta stone wall is the central visual element, serving
as a backdrop to the chef. Bronze mirrors give depth and elegance to space. The
simplistic wooden furniture contrasts a black floor rich in texture that refers to
traditional Japanese tatamis. The second sake bar is inspired by Japanese street
carts. The dark and elegant atmosphere, together with the striking illumination,
generates intimacy that aligns with the concept of the restaurant.
