Outdoor Garden Area
The outdoor environment was designed as a tribute to El Paseo del Prado in Old Havana, blending the elegance of its historic promenade with a contemporary architectural vision.
At the heart of the concept is a custom-designed structural pergola, where lush vegetation gracefully intertwines around the framework, embracing it like a timeless romance between nature and architecture. This living canopy creates shade, texture, and a welcoming atmosphere while celebrating the tropical character that defines the spirit of Havana.
Positioned at the front of the restaurant, the pergola establishes a striking visual landmark and a memorable focal point, giving Prado 264 a distinctive identity among neighboring restaurants. The result is an inviting outdoor experience that seamlessly combines Cuban heritage, Italian charm, and modern design, creating a destination that is as captivating from the street as it is from within.
