Mexican cuisine restaurant "Casa De Locos" is located in an old building in the old town of Klaipėda. The restaurant is spread over two floors. The building was once partially reconstructed, but retained the entire wooden structure of the roofs and wooden columns. They are left visible, only repainted in terracotta color, which is quite popular in the interiors of Central and South America. The interior itself is playful and quite contrasting. For the floor, clay-colored solid and split-color tiles were chosen. The bar counter is also laid out with divided tiles. The color chosen for the color base of the walls is also close to light clay. Later, the walls were painted with Mexican themed drawings. Varieties and playfulness in the interior are further formed by groups of hanging wicker lamps and artificial plants. A high bar shelf is also decorated with artificial plants. The chairs of different designs chosen for the restaurant also give a kind of cheerful mess. Table and bar tops made of aged wood with specially uncut uneven edges. As a whole, all the listed elements create a dynamic and contrasting, but not overshadowing, impression and create a non-committal, upbeat mood of the interior. The design of the logo and interior signage was also created for this site.
