This neighbourhood restaurant emphasises the power of connection. It's a place where residents gather to cook, eat, and share stories. The restaurant reflects the neighbourhood's identity and qualities, not only in the flavours served but also in the materials used to build the interior. Think repurposed elements from the neighbourhood, natural colours, and a design that exudes warmth and accessibility.

A key element of the concept is the collaboration with the community garden. By using vegetables, herbs, and other ingredients from the communal garden, a direct connection is created between the meal and the place where the food comes from. This collaboration not only promotes sustainable food practices but also strengthens knowledge about local and seasonal food. By gardening, cooking, and eating together, people grow closer, both literally and figuratively.

The restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it serves as the social heart of the neighbourhood. It invites spontaneous conversations, shared activities, and the celebration of diversity. This is about more than just good food – it's about building a sense of community, sharing culture, and strengthening connections. This project combines gastronomy with social sustainability, creating a space where the neighbourhood's strength and unique characters are tangible and palatable.
