ODAmx and Ruben Valdez Practice has created the restaurant concept of Xokol in Guadalajara, Mexico.
"Located in the neighbourhood of Santa Tere in Guadalajara, Xokol is a restaurant in which the act of eating becomes a collective ritual," said Ruben Valdez Practice.
The architecture of the space acts as a catalyst for the reinterpretation of the Mexican Mazahua people's culinary traditions.
Xokol is a communal dining experience in which the boundaries between diners, staff and food preparation are non-existent.
This project has been longlisted in the restaurant and bar interior category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
