Astrid & Gaston, Casa Moreyra
San Isidro, Lima (2011-2014)
Restaurant and Gastronomic Cultural Center
The flagship restaurant of Peruvian chef
Gaston Acurio, located in a protected, heritage Hacienda from the seventeenth century.
Our intervention consists of designing a new, cutting-edge concept for the
restaurant/ gastronomic centre. We do so by restoring the original architecture
and inserting an experimental orchard (“El Eden”), three kitchen and dining
experiences (informal gastro-bar “La Barra”, tasting menu “A&G” and private
“El Cielo”), culinary research facilities (“El Taller”) and several spaces for
cultural performances. That way, we devised a multiplicity of coordinated
interventions: guerrilla design!
