该餐厅位于墨西哥哈利斯科州萨波潘市的一个购物和金融区内，靠近瓜达拉哈拉市。该项目的目标是实现一个拥有近30年历史和根深蒂固的手工产品和工艺文化的企业的美学和建筑身份。在过去的26年中，La Tequila已经使自己成为该市墨西哥美食的首要目的地，因此，它已经建立了一个强大的身份感，我们的任务是保护它。
The restaurant is located within a shopping and financial district in Zapopan, Jalisco, near the city of Guadalajara, Mexico. The objective of the project was to implement the aesthetic and architectural identity of a business with almost 3 decades of history and a rooted culture of artisanal products and processes. Throughout the last 26 years, La Tequila has made itself a reputation as the city’s premier destination for Mexican cuisine and, as such, it has built a strong sense of identity that we were tasked with preserving.
该项目旨在重振这一身份，通过采用原来的质地和成分，并以新的方式应用它们，创造一种新的但熟悉的语言。这类似于餐厅的菜肴，它采用传统的墨西哥食谱，并将其移植到现代环境中。
The project aims to reinvigorate that identity, by taking the original textures & components and applying them in novel ways to create a renewed but familiar language. This is analogous to the restaurant’s cuisine, which takes traditional Mexican recipes and transposes them to a modern context.
源头是主要的关注点，当地生产的材料和手工艺品将重申这个概念所代表的内容。
The origin of the source was the main concern, with locally produced materials and handcrafts that would reaffirm what the concept stands for.
该方案相当简单明了。后厨区域，包括厨房、产品接待、员工浴室和办公室，分布在两层，大约占总体积的40%。同时，占据餐厅剩余60%面积的前厅被划分为3个不同的区域：一个室内大厅，是家庭聚会的理想场所，它面对厨房的开放部分，靠近浴室和儿童俱乐部；一个大型的半室外区域，可在酒吧的正前方进行不同的座位配置，可以看到邻近商业区的美景；以及一个相邻的露台，可以用一系列纺织窗帘围起来，作为私人用餐区。
The program is fairly straightforward. Back-of-house areas, including kitchen, product reception, staff bathrooms, and offices, are distributed across two levels and take up roughly 40% of the total volume. Meanwhile, the front of the house, which occupies the remaining 60% of the restaurant, is divided into 3 distinct areas: an interior hall, ideal for family gatherings, that faces the open section of the kitchen and is in close proximity to bathrooms and kids’ club; a large semi-outdoor area for different seating configurations directly in front of the bar, that offers great views of the neighboring commercial district; and an adjoining terrace that can be enclosed by a series of textile curtains to serve as private dining areas.
