To design Graziano's Andares, the studio traveled to Buenos Aires. Not to bring back secondhand references, but to experience what the design had to convey: the magic of asado, the cultural density of a city built around the table, the Pink Palace, the Evita Museum, the neighborhood restaurants where after-dinner lingering lasts for hours. From that trip we came back knowing what the space had to feel like.

The result is one of the studio's favorite projects: a radical conversion of a nighttime concept restaurant into a family space, dense, maximalist, and completely alive. Graziano's Andares is the original — the one that set the tone for all the openings that would follow. Dark woods, leathers, marbles, metals, equestrian textiles: a materiality that evokes the world of polo and the Argentine tradition of the countryside, mixed with the hospitality of the Italian trattoria.

It is one of those spaces that you appreciate more over time. Each visit reveals something new.

The trip to Buenos Aires was not touristy: it was about understanding. Designing from the direct experience of a culture produces a result that no image search can replicate — and that is evident in the density and coherence of Graziano's Andares. The space does not reference Argentina: it inhabits it.
