“Aromas” is located in Lomas de Chapultepec, one of the most important residential and commercial areas in Mexico City.
Inside the venue, the architectural proposal melds friendly into the context in a simple, neat and fluid way.
This is achieved by the use of neutral materials, such as white tile, polished basalt, wooden furring, polished concrete and eye-catching decoration.
On the first level, people can enjoy the exhibition and sale of products such as wine, mescal and Mexican handicraft, which are gracefully exposed over wooden shelving that in combination with the unique exploded wooden furring, results in a soothing mix of homelike and contemporary environments.
The atmosphere and services experienced at the second level differ completely from those of the first´s, but surely enough, are equally enriching.
Here, you can enjoy the haute cuisine offered by the establishment in the refreshing open spaces that the great wide terrace provides.
The terrace, further provides with an intimate and familiar feel, granted by the divided wooden shutters present in it, the planters surrounding the area as well as the wooden beams in the ceiling that fill the terrace with an almost hypnotic light and shadow projections.
Food production can be enjoyed by the clientele on both levels, rendering the kitchen with a crucial role for the architectural proposal.
