If in other times the city of Madrid had a beach – on the Manzanares’ bank and ten minutes by bus from the center, today, the new restaurant of La Maruca draws a nautical club in the heart of the capital, paying homage to the great rationalist jewels of Santander’s architecture, such as the “Isla de Torre” Sailing School or its Royal Maritime Club.

Through a process of abstraction, the project plays with the exterior-interior dualism, generating exteriors within interiors, and recreating open and nautical environments, in which the sea is perceived, but not seen. Thanks to the use of bands, the interior volumetry is molded, expressed through multiple facades, curved and friendly, inviting the visitor to walk and observe, as a sort of pilgrimage through the landscape with traditional images of the Cantabrian city.
