Boku is a restaurant and bar interior in Guadalajara, Mexico. The design combines Japanese spatial principles with local culture and is inspired by Osaka street food, with takoyaki as the central theme. A curved counter encourages social interaction, and wall textures add tactile detail. Suspended bamboo lighting and natural materials create an organic atmosphere. A mezzanine makes use of the high ceiling and adds functional variety. The venue serves food during the day and becomes a bar and event space at night.
