Los Mochis, London City, UK
Where Tokyo meets Tulum, Los Mochis is the global pioneer of pairing Mexican and Japanese cuisines, showing off the vibrancy, passion, and heat of Mexico while celebrating the cool elegance and precision of Japan. Elevated above Broadgate Circle, the venue offers unparalleled panoramic views of London City. Curated by Chef Leonard Tanyag, the restaurant provides the guest with varied dining experiences, from the vibrant main dining area with sushi bar to a scenic rooftop terrace, intimate private dining room, and luxurious Agaveria & Lounge. Each space offers its own distinctive ambience away from the bustle of the city below.
The vision for the project came from Markus Thesleff of the Thesleff Group, with Interior Design by OV & Co and Architects Woods Hardwick. dpa created a carefully integrated lighting scheme, incorporating Agave fibre pendants and a hand-woven willow tunnel by willow artist Cherry Chung. These are fully tuneable white to allow a fresh neutral white during the breakfast scene through to a warm candle-lit glow during the evening, creating an intimate dining experience in contrast to the surrounding towers of the Square Mile.
