KONARE (from the Tarahumara: wanting to eat) is a food court in a mixed-use development in the city of Monterrey, Mexico, located in an area that over the years has been losing its commercial value due to the proliferation of informal commerce and the settlement of industrial warehouses. The concept is based on the idea of a tree, an oasis within the hectic neighborhood. The stereotomic weave of Chilean pine wood, starting from the center or trunk of this tree, is distributed throughout the space like branches, welcoming the users and forgetting that they are inside a corporate building.
