Nuez de Azahar is a dessert house with French, Lebanese, Mexican, and American influences.
For its new location, the design concept is inspired by creating a cozy space where you can pause and enjoy a dessert and coffee in the midst of a busy day. The main vision is to evoke the timeless charm of classic sweet shops, offering a sense of nostalgia as if they’ve always been a part of the neighborhood.
Art Deco lines and classic materials like wood were blended with limewash plaster to introduce a contemporary touch, adding warmth to the space.
