The project is based on a deep analysis of the philosophy and values that define Deleito brand. Its burgers claim the emotion and experience of good food through original and quality recipes that, in the words of the company itself, will take you to heaven. This continuous reference to the Divine works as the hook that guides the proposal.

In that sense, the classical world is taken as a starting point. The inspiration resorts to elements recovered from history to bring uniqueness to the composition. The reformulation of elements such as the portico or the column, take importance in the conceptualization of the space.

Thus, the space, distributed over two floors, is colonized by a system of porticoes that adapts to the geometry of the premises. Its structuring order fulfills a double function. On the one hand, it organizes the space and establishes a hierarchy that makes it possible to divide programs. On the other hand, it provides that resounding and geometric character that, together with its aesthetics, makes this feature a sign of identity.

The massiveness of this element gives the space a new order and offers a kind of skeleton that becomes the characteristic and distinctive element of the brand. Its rotundity attracts attention from the street itself and generates the attraction that any commercial space is looking for.

The combination of materials proposes a homogeneous and uniform palette. The grayish tones are provided by granite and steel. Also by microcement and tiling. This mix of flat materials contrasts with the introduction of the brand’s characteristic blue. This takes on a subtle protagonism in specific elements such as the railings.
