Jaime Beriestain Studio's 2020 Almanac Barcelona interior—hand-applied lime plaster, living wall panels, deep botanical greens, raw stone—extends the botanical logic of Rodrigo de la Calle's plant-forward menu into the room itself, the architecture making the menu feel like an extension of the space rather than an event within it.
