In the Argentine city of Santa Fe, the Alfaro/Acevedo-Arquitectura architecture studio has designed and built this restaurant that comes up from the client's premise of developing a kitchen without intermediaries, where the products go directly from the farm to the table.
In the Margot restaurant, each architectural decision is made to develop sustainable gastronomy, and this is clear and evident in the organic garden located at the access to the restaurant that allows the development of a self-cultivation that is directly connected to the kitchen and that it is able to supply the indoor dining room without emissions.

The restaurant designed by the Argentine studio Alfaro/Acevedo-Arquitectura is developed in a simple way allowing the interior space, where the central dining room and the kitchen and bar at the ends are located, to be shown as a flexible and permeable space with the exterior nature that surrounds it and the organic garden that supplies the kitchen and gives access to the restaurant.
The materials used in the Margot restaurant also make evident that search for the optimization of resources carried out by the architect since the number of materials used is very low and all of them are used in their most primary state. Some of those materials used in the construction of the restaurant are concrete, wood, corten steel, and glass.

Description of project by Alfaro/Acevedo-Arquitectura
The work was conceived from a client's premise: “farm-to-table”. From this concept and considering the characteristics of the garden neighborhood of the place, a simple typology was thought, of unique and flexible space surrounded by nature. Where the dining room coexists in the central area, the open kitchen at one end and the bar at the other. The building is implanted in one of the two lots available for the project, separated from the dividing wall to allow a service entrance and leaving the remaining lot to develop the organic garden, through which the establishment is entered, and which in turn will give sustainability to the gastronomic activity to be developed.
On the other hand, and continuing with this idea of optimization of resources; Few materials were used and in their natural state: concrete, corten steel, wood and glass.
The place also has a basement where the winery is located and a chamber for cheeses, hams and preserves. On the other hand, the kitchen has two chambers for maturing meats and a fire pit.
On the roof of the restaurant, a green terrace is developed in one sector that is also part of the garden, and in the other sector a technical floor with the VRV equipment, tanks and panels solar.
The whole project aims to allow the development of the activity in a sustainable way.
