8 Portion

Masquespacio has reinterpreted the Italian dining experience in Riyadh with the interior design of 8 Portions. This new restaurant, which fuses Italian culinary tradition with the local flavors of Saudi Arabia, becomes an urban oasis where aesthetics and culinary experience intertwine. For this project, Masquespacio aimed to create a space that would transcend the clichés of Italian restaurants, incorporating elements that reflect the essence of Saudi Arabia without resorting to literal representations. Inspired by the beauty of the desert, the characteristic shapes and textures were reinterpreted, transforming architec-tural elements such as pillars, stairs, and ceilings into true sculptures that shape the space. ▼，overview of the interior space The neutral and earthy color palette evokes the dunes and rocks of the desert, while the carefully designed lighting recreates the magic of the golden hour, bathing the space in a warm and sophisticated light. This golden light, the undisputed protagonist of the design, is reflected in the metallic and golden finishes of the elements, creating an enveloping and sophisticated atmosphere. Each element of the design, from the curved pillars to the sculptural lighting fixtures, has been conceived to create a unique sensory experience. The organic and fluid shapes contrast between each other transforming the structural elements, while generating a visual dynamic that invites exploration. Masquespacio has designed a space that goes beyond the simple function of eating. 8 Portions is a sensory experience that invites diners to immerse themselves in a unique and memorable environment, where light, shapes, and materials combine to create an oasis of tranquility and sophistication.
