[English] The predominant approach to design in the urban environment has fostered the transformation and degradation of ecosystems, increasing the separation of humans from the natural world. Human beings need close contact with plants and animals to feel complete, this need is a vital desire. Knowing this, the concept known as biophilia is supported, which explains the necessary union of the human being with nature, essential for psychological and physical development. This project presents the Foresta Luxury Restaurant focused on wellness through biophilia located in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Foresta is a 5-fork restaurant oriented to an international gastronomy that promotes a relationship between luxury and nature based on a biophilic design with an eclectic fusion style. With the aim of promoting a design in which you can integrate more from the inside to the outside without turning your back.
