In 2018, after years of working independently in some of the world’s finest kitchens, twin brothers Sergio and Javier Torres opened their dream project, Cocina Hermanos Torres, in Barcelona’s Les Corts neighbourhood. The two-starred Michelin chefs, who learned to cook at age 14 with their grandmother Catalina, have long been respected for their creative and innovative approach to fine dining. Their unique vision has been brought to new heights with Cocina Hermanos Torres. Roca speaks to Carlos and Borja Ferrater, the architects behind the restaurant’s ground-breaking design.
Tablecloths, cushioned seats, and a select few carpets were strategically employed to soften the environment, enhance comfort, and help regulate the room's acoustics. Great care was also taken to ensure that the decorative elements remained minimal allowing only the truly essential to take center stage — namely, the culinary experience.
In addition, we decided the bathrooms should stand out from the rest of the space, creating an atmosphere that would be more typical of a ship’s cabin than a huge industrial shed. Roca made it possible to create these one-of-a-kind bathroom spaces.
