Interior Design for Restaurants
A course by Masquespacio, Creative interior design consulting
Learn to design a restaurant space with a unique concept
A space that you love is one that you'll want to return to over and over again. The design plays a very important role in this effect, something that Ana Hernández, creative director of the Valencian studio of interior design Masquespacio, knows very well. In this course she will teach you her process for creating a restaurant, everything from the preliminary market research to the distribution of tables and chairs.
You will learn what a lovemark or cult brand is and the factors that define it, applying these elements to your restaurant's design.

Muy práctico, recomendable.
Muy buen curso, resuelve inquietudes que no se suelen aclarar durante la carrera de arquitectura.
Es un curso maravilloso, aprendí muchísimo sobre como buscar inspiración, referentes, acerca del diseño de interiores y demás elementos a tener cuenta para un restaurante.
I found the design prep lessons very valuable, especially regarding moodboards and client management. However, I wish there was more on restaurant design. Bar layout aside, other areas felt rushed and superficial. I wanted more specific details and measurements for kitchens and dining areas. It’s a great course for students and enthusiasts, but I feel it’s a bit too basic for professionals.
Me parece un curso bastante interesante, hay que adaptar todo a las necesidades y reglamentación de cada zona, te da un panorama perfecto del paso a paso para diseñar espacios adecuados a las necesidades de cada cliente
