Santolla - Mesón de Mer

Containers, containers, containers!! Mixed into the traditional architecture of Natales is the contemporary design of Hotel IF & Santolla / Mesón de Mar. Always I am a big fan of the use of sea containers as building material. Five 20 foot boxes make up the restaurant Santolla, with dining on the street level and the kitchen up above. 

Thanks to Isabel Nunez for the Anasazi Ltda. photo commission & to Chef Victor Requelme for the melt in your mouth food art.
