Agave has diverse uses, but one of the most popular is undoubtedly mezcal - from the Nahuatl mexcalli "cooked maguey". To speak of mezcal is to speak of the ancestral tradition that has been part of our culture as Mexicans.

The recognition of the pre-existing and the optimization of resources, formed the "architectural party". The footprint of the site is important, walls flattened to almost half of their height, intuited us the generation of an intermediate level.

The bar, the walls, the shelves, and the shelving are the main pieces.
The walls delimit the areas of social interaction from the spaces that offer privacy to the establishment's collaborators. The wall panel creates an intimate space for the consumer. By means of the bar the previous ones are cushioned. By means of the shelves the whole is contained.

The shelving shows the product as an exhibition, all the niches that are generated in them are of equal size, with the aim of giving equal importance to each product that is displayed in them.

The intervention is an action that can be transformed over time, so the proposal tends to be objective and removable, so that if in the future it is desirable to add or remove elements it is possible. Everything revolving around the bar.
