A new Argentinean restaurant was opened in mid-December 2014 in the center of Prague – Gran Fierro situated in a functionalistic travertine panelled building in Vorsilska street.Modernist house built by Adolf Foehr in 1930. The owner of the restaurant, Juan Cruz Pacin, is from Buenos Aires, and as he has been living in Prague for some time, he decided to bring a piece of Argentina to the heart of Europe. South American cuisine, great cocktails or evenings with Argentinean tango meet here bar atmosphere where also a DJ is present.

Architects Dagmar Štěpánová and Katarína Varsová from the studio Formafatal, who designed the interior, divided the space into two main parts, each in different elevation. Well-lighted area at the entrance is dominated by a bar in the center, while at the back you will find a more intimate area with tables, a chill-out zone with armchairs and a lounge. Still, within the area of 250 m2, you can see the kitchen and chefs immediately once you enter the restaurant. All the features are linked up with patina wood tables, shelving systems from metal reinforcing bars and upholstery made of real Argentinean belts. The combination of industrial and retro features with the touch of South America created space which is definitely worth trying.

philosophy

A complex research which aims to highlight the quality of architecture over any other aspect. We believe that architecture plays a meaningful role in society and that architects should be able to share the beauty they manage to create through their works, in a well mannered and considerate way: free of distractive advertisements and unpleasant commercials. Complesco is therefore a focused platform that wishes to take architecture to the highest level of consideration, believing that an appropriate selection will win over quantitative and generic architecture that is taking over the places we inhabit. Complesco is a tool to stop cheap apathy and indifference, towards a possible future of surrounding beauty.
