Cantina Contramar
Firm LocationLas Vegas, United States
CompanyFrida Escobedo Studio
Lead ArchitectFrida Escobedo
AIA Honorary Fellow and National Design Award winner for architecture 2026, Frida Escobedo, renowned for her deep engagement with materiality and the assembly of everyday elements into dialogue with place, brought Cantina Contramar to life, her first U.S. restaurant project. Rather than replicating Mexico City's Contramar, the space is a reinterpretation, distilling its openness and conviviality into a refuge rooted in Mexican craft, architectural memory, and the democratic spirit of the cantina.
