The project

A burrow that grows.

El Topo II takes the first burrow and enlarges it. The open kitchen, the counter as a stage and the brand graphics remain, but the shop is no longer only a point of sale. On the ground floor, service, production and a large store sit together, also sized as a base if the branch later centralises goods.

Upstairs there is a separate work room, so management does not happen behind the counter. Curved details, varied volumes, planters and continuous light give the interior its own character without leaving El Topo's world. In 385 square metres the shop shifts from a branch to a piece of infrastructure: serve, produce, store and administer on the same site.

Project decisions

Ground floor: service, an open kitchen and storage ready to grow with the brand.

Upper floor: an administrative room separated from the daily operation.
