LEVANTE BAKERY

Interior

Mediterranean Spirit

The project captures the Mediterranean spirit through vibrant public spaces, street culture, and warm, natural materials. Flour, dough, and baking shape the textural language—handmade ceramics, terracotta, compressed earth, and layered plaster. The bakery transforms into a performance: the oven takes center stage, the kitchen merges with the space, and products move directly from hearth to bag. Open layouts, stainless surfaces, and glass partitions blur café and workshop, creating a seamless choreography of craft and everyday life.

TEXTURES RELATES TO

THE MIX AND FLOUR

Flour, dough, and baking guide the design, expressed through a rich mix of materials, colors, and textures. Handmade ceramics and bricks meet porous, layered surfaces—rough plasters, compressed earth, terracotta, sand, and warm, sunlit tones—celebrating craft and tactility.
