The owners of Chimborazo approached Archimea as they were considering expanding their unique Ecuadorian Restaurant to a new St. Paul location. The name is derived from the Chimborazo Volcano on the equator line in Ecuador and is considered the closest point on Earth to the sun. Marcos Pinguil, Owner and Chef, came to Minneapolis from the Canar Sierra Province in Ecuador where, from a young age, he learned to prepare dishes from Ecuador’s varied regions. Archimea helped to fulfill Marcos’ vision by expanding on his traditional themes. Otavaleno tapestries became the inspiration for the colors and patterns used in the restaurant’s interior. A mural of the Chimborazo Volcano at the entry greets patrons while bold vertical stripes and colors reflect the traditional tapestries in an artistic focal wall composition. Existing wooden church pews became perimeter seating, combined with warm wood tables and chairs to maximize seating within the space. Archimea was happy to meet with Marcos and share in the spirit of the Andean Highlands with amazing new tastes that Marcos prepared, to celebrate his colorful new dining experience. https://lnkd.in/gNHip9Gt #design #interiordesign #commercialrealestate #retail #restaurant #remodel #color #StPaul #Minnesota
