"Hey Vienna, At least one concept from Berlin made it to the neighbourhood" could be read on the red backlit notice board at the opening of the new Shiso location. The burgers with an Asian twist are now also available in Vienna. But it's not just the culinary side of things that's best of both worlds here. Thanks to the renowned architecture studio Tzou Lubroth the interior is very stylish - including a pinch of Viennese style.
The Enso House II in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, blends into its surroundings thanks to its stone construction. At the same time, the architecture by HW Studio, reminiscent of a monastery, shields you from the world. Inside, you go on a pilgrimage.
