Azta 

After Spritz and Bibliothèque Donalda-Charron (with Atelier TAG), AZTA is the latest NEUF project to take shape around the Agora in Gatineau. Designed by our interior design team, the restaurant is part of a residential complex whose ground floor is entirely dedicated to commercial spaces.

The concept is rich in references to Mexican folklore, blending tradition with contemporary influences. Neon signs hang next to handmade pottery, creating a vibrant and eclectic aesthetic. Wood and ceramics, central to the design, feature prominently in a custom furniture collection. Tile was hand-painted in Mexico, while ceiling beams help soften the vertical scale and enhance the intimacy of the space.
Art plays a key role in the experience. Four pieces by Omar Bernal Benitez are integrated into the architectural concept: La Catrina, positioned at the back of the dining area, and a striking animal fresco on the terrace, along with two outdoor sculptures.
