Some projects begin with a moodboard
Others begin with sculptural Sabina trees, feet in the sand, hunger
Casa Jondal was never meant to be just a beach restaurant,
Victor, Rem, Rafa, Oro and I wanted a Chiriguito
A Classic
That place that becomes the highlight of your summer memory
A place people remember with all five senses
We designed a place where the breeze moves through the space as naturally as the service
Where a meal feels like a soft ritual
Where the edges are rounded, the Bogavante melts in your mouth, the lounges are low
Material decisions were made like seasoning,- precise, never overdone, complimentary, the ingredients being the star
Subtraction rather than adding
Naturally aged wood, local clay, food made on fire, the sea, straw, soft sand, crisp wino, shade
Years later, it’s still one of the best beach restaurants in the world
I believe because we didn’t chase trends
We chased atmosphere
