Cantabrian Maritime Museum Restaurant, Spain
Zooco, winner of the Architecture Masterprize 2023 award in the “Small Enterprise in Multidisciplinary Interior Design” category, proudly presents its latest completed project. Cantabrian Maritime Museum Restaurant.
Located on Avenida Severiano Ballesteros in Santander, Spain, this restaurant was conceived as part of an architectural complex that included an oceanographic center designed by Vicente Roig Forner and Ángel Hernández Morales and built between 1975 and 1978 .
The original building is a concrete structure with two square bodies connected by a canopy. The interior is divided into three floors around a central courtyard covered by a parabolic membrane vault.
In 2003, a renovation and addition, including an extension of the west façade and a terraced roof with a pyramidal aluminum structure, changed the original concept of the building.
The project provides a new space on the museum’s second floor to house a restaurant and terrace. To achieve this, the project included the creation of new volumes that provided a solution to the pathologies present in the roof and facade of the building.
The square form of this volume is the result of the addition of four triangles that regularize and complete the paraboloids of the original building, contrasting the rawness of these concrete paraboloids with a focus on the interior. Masu. In a sense, geometric patterns become salvaged elements, vestiges of the past and the main character of the restaurant’s interior. Treated as an artistic element, a triangular wooden false ceiling surrounds the building.
The exterior uses a glass box that pursues maximum transparency (curtain-like textiles add nuance depending on the orientation), and the extraordinary scenery of Santander Bay spreads out, creating a sense of being at the sea. bring.
