Baffi
The Baffi Restaurant is located inside Matria Parque de Flores, the largest flower park in Latin America. The project was developed to follow the existing topography, partially embedding the building into the landscape. This approach reduces visual impact and creates a close connection between architecture and nature, offering views of the lake, gardens and surrounding hills. Its structure uses natural materials and passive design strategies to provide comfort and reduce energy consumption. The result is a functional space that respects the site and enhances the experience of visitors.
Baffi Restaurant by Nicholas Alencar was identified as an innovative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Baffi Restaurant won the Silver A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2026. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious international design competition that recognizes outstanding design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
