In previous times the city of Madrid had a beach - on the Manzanares’ bank just ten minutes away from the city center. Nowadays, it is the new restaurant of La Maruca which offers a marine-like spot in the heart of the capital. This alludes to the city of Santander, where the group of restaurants originated from; whilst paying homage to Santander's rationalist architecture, taking inspiration from the "Isla de Torre" Sailing School or the Royal Maritime Club.
過去，馬德里市擁有一個海灘，位於馬尼薩雷斯（Manzanares）河岸，距離市中心只有十分鐘的路程。如今，這個地方成為了La Maruca餐廳的新址，為這個首都的核心地帶提供了一個宛如置身海洋中的場所。這說明了該餐廳集團的起源地——聖坦德爾市，同時向這個城市的理性主義建築致敬，並汲取了「托雷島（Isla de Torre）」帆船學校、皇家海事俱樂部所獲得的靈感。
The project for the new La Maruca restaurant in Madrid was conceived as a play on exterior-interior spaces. Moreover, its aim was to create a subtle nautical atmosphere through-out, giving the diners a constant feel that the sea might peak out of any corner. Several band-like volumes curve along the main space, inviting the visitor to walk and promenade as a sort of pilgrimage through a pier, while admiring the display of traditional images of the Cantabrian city.
該項目的設計構想，是創造一個值得玩味的室內外空間，旨在透過整個空間營造出微妙的航海氛圍，讓用餐者時刻感受到海洋可能從任何一個角落露出。幾個彎曲的條狀量體沿著主要空間展開，邀請訪客像朝聖般漫步，感受欣賞坎塔布里亞的氛圍。
The materials that were selected are closely tied to its marine character: nautical teak-wood with black polymer-based joints, like the ones used on the decks of ships, as flooring in the passage areas; micro terrazzo with minerals in earth colors, as flooring in the living rooms; white polished cement as the finish of all the curved-interior volumes; teak-wood slats for the vertical elements of the project, such as columns and pillars; and lastly, smooth white ceilings, with high levels of sound absorption. The material chosen for the interior faces of the ribbon-like bands is also noteworthy. The extreme slenderness of the ceramic pieces and their vertical placement allow us to perfectly adapt the cladding to the curved profiles of the volumes, providing a texture full of character. Thanks to a careful study of the horizontal lines of the project, a clear order is established which enhances the harmonization of the project and the comprehension of the space. Another distinguished feature of the project are the bathrooms. These are elevated on a structure that extends beyond the limits of the enclosed perimeter and opens into its outdoor terrace, like a pier. Material-wise, they were designed using only two elements: teak-wood slats and a plinth of semicircular ceramic pieces of the same width as the slats.
其挑選的建材與當地的海洋特色密切相關：通道區域地板使用船舶柚木甲板；客廳地板使用帶有土色微型礦物質水磨石；所有曲線空間內部的面積採用白色拋光水泥作為表面處理；屋內的垂直元素，如柱子皆使用橡木板條；最後，天花板採用光滑的白色建材，具有高度的吸音性。帶狀條紋的內部表面選材也值得一提，運用陶瓷片的極度纖細和垂直安裝，使得外牆完美地銜接內部面積的曲線輪廓，展現了充滿特色的質感。透過研究評估該項目水平線，釐清明確秩序，強化了和諧性與空間的流暢性。該項目的另一個特點是洗手間。它被建在一個結構上，超越了封閉規範的限制，並延伸到室外露臺，猶如一座碼頭。在選材方面，洗手間只使用了兩個元素：橡木板條以及與板條同寬的半圓形陶瓷塊砌成的基座。
The restaurant has a panoramic envelope: like a transparent box, the glass perimeter provides permeability and promotes the observation of the interior volumes from the outdoor environment. An integral system of wooden sliding doors allows for varying degrees of privacy and solar protection from the outside. However, nothing is hidden in the interior space. The spectacular open and exposed kitchen is ubicated in the center of the interior building, like an exposed ship’s engine room. This openness shows the confidence in the restaurant’s team’s performance and transparency towards the customer.
這個餐廳擁有一個獨特的全景外觀：就像一個透明的盒子一樣，玻璃圍牆提供了通透性，讓室外的環境與內部空間互動。一個完整的木製推拉門系統，可以根據需要調整隱私性以及對戶外的陽光防曬。然而，餐廳的內部空間中沒有任何東西被隱藏，壯觀的開放式廚房位於正中央，就像一個開放的船舶引擎室。這樣的設計佈局，展現了餐廳團隊對於廚房料理及食物烹調過程的信心，以及對顧客的透明度。
