The greenhouse extends the restaurant into retail and exhibition space
Trenchs Studio has designed one greenhouse structure for Filandón, a restaurant located in El Pardo, Madrid. Placed at the entrance, the work functions as a retail and display space, expanding it restaurant program that includes the presentation and sale of products that come directly from the relevant farm.
The greenhouse acts as an intermediary between kitchen, garden and shop. It provides an environment where vegetables, greens, preserves and household products appear in direct relation to their origin. Production from the Granja de los Monjes in El Bierzo is central to the offer, along with packaged products and liqueurs, creating a link between agricultural production and culinary production.

Greenhouse interior shaped like passive design and material continuity
The architectural language refers to traditional European greenhouses, reinterpreted through a modern context. The structure consists of aluminum profiles with controlled proportions, enclosing a space designed for year-round use. Environmental conditions are mitigated by passive means, balancing daylight, ventilation and thermal comfort.
A system of wooden shutters integrated into the ceiling regulates the penetration of light. These elements, finished in olive green, contribute to both environmental performance and visual integration with the surrounding landscape. Their functionality allows indoor conditions to be adjusted during the day and during the seasons.
The interior, designed by Trenchs Studioit is organized as a single, continuous space with a central element that defines circulation and visibility. A large table that combines wood and natural stone acts as both a counter and a space divider, separating the movement of visitors from the presentation of the product. Dark tone wood flooring introduces material continuity and supports overall spatial definition.

architectural display elements define the controlled retail space
Display systems are distributed on the inner and outer edges. Fresh produce is placed on circular copper pedestals, designed to allow flexible configurations. At the back, a built-in oak cabinet houses packaged products, providing a contrast between fresh and preserved products.
Lighting is integrated to emphasize the texture of the material and the physical properties of the product. The overall design creates a controlled environment where architectural elements, material selection and display strategies support the presentation of seasonal food products within a defined spatial context.
