Arquitecto Pitpit Tapas Restaurant

WE ARE MINUSPLUS Minusplus is an independent, 20-person architecture and design studio based in Budapest. We provide sustainable and innovative design solutions. We are sentient human beings, we love harmony and beauty. Our interest is faithfully reflected in the diversity of our works. We enjoy what we do, and this is clearly visible in our buildings as well. Our plans are surrounded by continuous professional interest, our buildings are regularly published and rewarded with prizes. WE CREATE INSPIRATIONAL SPACES The main ambition of our team is to design buildings that encourage the activities within them. We explore new contexts and re-interpret the relationship of spaces and their habitants. We believe this makes the world around us a better place. WE ARE CURIOUS Our method is discovery: we create the setpoints of the plan from the analysis and interpretation of the given situation. We dare to ask and search for new solutions, for this we systematically research architecture and develop our own capabilities. We are convinced that the question is the most important driving force that starts a change. WE COOPERATE Our working method is receptive, therefore our architectural responses are various and colorful. We believe that harmonizing different approaches will advance our world and build our environment. WE MAKE IT HAPPEN We stand with two feet on the ground: our ideas are innovators, but we always work out ways to make them feasible.

Tapas is a communal experience. The owners of Arquitecto Pitpit are great fans of Spanish cuisine, they not only understand, but live this type of hospitality. We know from them how receptive this cuisine is to the tastes of other nations, how happy it is to experiment with exciting, new dishes and adapt them to its own image. Similarly, in the interior spaces the fully Budapestian, wonderfully decadent atmosphere of the building and the garden live together with the life-affirmation and humor of this Mediterranean hospitality. The decent Thonet chairs and the striped deck chair textiles. The white marble counter and the natural terracotta grill. The elegant, slender wall lamps above the wildly cheerful paintings of Tamás Füredi. We used wall fixtures for the lighting of the restaurant because we wanted to leave the arch of the vault intact. Together with LumoConcept, we designed it to be multifunctional and really smart: the gently glowing spheres are atmospheric elements in the space, but they also secretly light upwards illuminating the vault. Meanwhile, a small directional spot from the inside of the sphere casts light on the table and the dinner plates. The arms are rotatable, in order to follow the tables, even if they are rearranged.
