Speakeasy

Inside the Heart of the Whale

The project

A sensory retreat where engineering, craftsmanship, and materiality become one

Hidden behind the discreet allure of a speakeasy, this space has been conceived as a fully immersive experience. An environment designed to envelop guests in warmth and sophistication, where architectural innovation meets artisanal mastery. Here, materials are not simply decorative elements but storytellers, shaping every moment and every memory.

An architectural vision that challenges convention.

At the center of the project stands the remarkable Gaudí Dome, an organic structure inspired by natural forms and biomorphic architecture. Its flowing geometry evokes the protective interior of a whale, creating a sense of comfort, intimacy, and wonder. Behind its apparent softness lies an extraordinary feat of engineering and craftsmanship, where technical expertise and artisanal knowledge work in perfect harmony.

Wrapped in Velvet

A space designed to be felt

The dome is entirely upholstered in luxurious velvet, transforming architecture into a tactile experience. The fabric softens light, enhances acoustic comfort, and creates an atmosphere of exclusivity and serenity. Every curve invites guests to slow down, relax, and immerse themselves in the warmth of the evening.

Noble wood as the defining element.

Walnut wood becomes the silent protagonist of the interior. Its deep tones and rich grain create a sense of continuity and elegance throughout the space. Carefully balanced and expertly crafted, it frames the complexity of the dome while allowing its sculptural form to remain the focal point.

The Elegance of Stone

Marble as a symbol of prestige and balance

Marble is introduced with understated confidence, bringing a sense of permanence and refinement to the project. Its natural character contrasts beautifully with the softness of velvet and the warmth of walnut, enriching the material palette with timeless elegance.

Hand-hammered brass as an artisanal signature.

Brass details provide moments of brilliance throughout the space. Hand-finished surfaces capture and reflect the ambient glow, adding warmth and refinement to the speakeasy atmosphere. Each piece celebrates the uniqueness and authenticity of handcrafted workmanship.

The Art of Detail

Fluted inserts and refined minimalism

Delicate fluted details introduce rhythm, texture, and visual depth. These refined inserts create a subtle dialogue between contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship, enriching the interiors with sophistication while maintaining a sense of restraint and purity.

An atmosphere designed to leave a lasting impression.

Every detail has been carefully considered to evoke emotion. The soft lighting, the flowing curves of the Gaudí Dome, the richness of velvet, and the authenticity of handcrafted finishes combine to create an environment that transcends traditional interior design. Intimate, exclusive, and timeless, it is a space designed to accompany guests through the most memorable moments of the evening.
