Cavite Restaurant & Farm is the latest evolution of a site rich in ecology, purpose, and enjoyment, one which immerses guests in a socio-culinary experience that is indistinguishable from the nature of the surrounding area.

 

Drawing inspiration from the rich and complex range of landscape typologies throughout the Philippines, the design for this farm-to-table restaurant proposes to transform a barren site into an ecologically diverse ecosystem. Located thirty-eight kilometers north from the Taal Volcano, Cavite Restaurant & Farm is strategically embedded into the landscape, making the natural environment an integral part of the culinary experience.

 

The cantilevered restaurant is organized around a lush open-air courtyard where, upon finishing their meal, visitors can interact with nature by way of a pedestrian loop. This continuous pathway connects visitors to a series of unique amenity and garden spaces. Other key elements of the design include an event lawn, three greenhouses, visitor cabins, support staff facilities, a fruit orchard, free-range animal grazing areas, a barn, and a sculpture garden with a dedicated overlook seating area.
