Marlow / Mareterra

Marlow, located in the Mareterra district of Monaco, is a restaurant designed by Hugo Toro as a space that changes throughout the day, moving from calm to a more lively atmosphere in the evening.

The project combines the feeling of a wood panelled private club with the openness and light of the Mediterranean. It includes around 300 square meters of interior space and a 100 square meter terrace.

Everything was custom designed, from the architecture to the furniture, lighting, and door handles. The design brings together Victorian inspired elements with marine references, creating a dialogue between warmth and coastal influences.

The space is organized around a central bar, with different areas including a seafood counter, a private lounge, and a space for live music. Light plays an important role, shifting from daylight to a softer evening atmosphere.

Materials such as wood, marble, Murano glass, and decorative patinas shape the overall feel of the restaurant. Within the space, a cabinet of curiosities called Lady M presents a selection of objects, books, and artworks.
