8 Portions, the new creation of Masquespacio

An Oasis of Light and Sculptures in Riyadh

Masquespacio creates something that is not just a restaurant, but an immersion in atmosphere where architecture, art, and light combine to create a complete and unique experience. 8 Portions is a project that brings together the culinary tradition of Italy with the flavours of Saudi Arabia.

Inspired by the impressive Saudi desert, the design of the restaurant is a reinterpretation that goes beyond what was expected. Masquespacio not only captures the essence of the Saudi desert but transforms it into a work of art, fusing architectural elements with sculptures that perfectly reflect the landscape. The stairs, pillars, and ceilings are not just functional elements, they are essential components that bring the space to life, inviting everyone to immerse themselves in a unique visual journey.

The restaurant's atmosphere is surrounded by golden light that mimics the warmth and magic of the desert's golden hour. The design details help the lighting not only illuminate but also transform the space into sophistication and serenity, inviting everyone to relax and enjoy the magical surroundings. 

Masquespacio created more than a restaurant; they have designed an experience that changes the meaning of going out to eat.

What truly distinguishes 8 Portions is not only the aesthetics but the invitation to experience the space in a sensory way. Every detail, every corner, from the different shapes of the sculptures to the powerful reflection of light, is carefully designed to capture attention and create curiosity.

Beyond typical Italian restaurants clichés, Masquespacio incorporates elements that reflect the essence of Saudi Arabia without falling into literal representations.
