Restaurante Los Pardillos

Albasini & Berkhout as Architects

The aim of this restaurant was getting customers to enjoy the dining experience in an environment that put the accent on the food.


The ground floor property is 224 m2 built in a new neighborhood of Murcia. The place is rectangular, with the main facade facing south and big openings to the street. The side and rear facades allow natural light to enter through the existing enclosure of glass bricks, so the place has a balanced natural light.


The restaurant dining room is organized in parallel to the main facade, leaving the service and kitchen along the rear facade. The dining room is wrapped in a semi-transparent inner face separating it from adjacent spaces. This element consists of two sheets of transparent polycarbonate with a honeycomb core disposed as a lattice. By day the dining room is illuminated with the outside light that seeps through the skin; at night the interior is visible from the street, though distorted by the effect of the honeycomb lattice.


Since this is a restaurant with luxury cuisine, halogen lighting arises so that prominence is acquired by the dishes placed on the table. Reflected light blurs tablecloths, an intimate space is created around food, not disturbed by the perimeter walls, dark floors, or by the light that passes through the translucent skin.


The acoustic ceiling is painted in dark gray (Rockfon Mono Acoustic TE) with longitudinal slots in which rail lighting, electricity, sound system, air conditioning vents, and emergency lights are all integrated.


The walls are vinyl coated (Vescom Trinity 1009.3) and the floor is limestone (Black Calatorao) honed in situ. The screen is composed of panels (Bencore brand), model 3D Kaos. Both outward and into the kitchen, parallel glass walls protect the plastic material.
