Spanish chef Alberto Chicote and designer Enrique Barrera from In Design We Trust have woven sustainability into the very fabric of Omeraki Restaurant, leading the way in creating an environmentally conscious and creative culinary experience. Barrera believes that sustainable values should be inherent in a restaurant, hotel or any public space, without the need for overt communication. He believes that users should experience sustainable values emotionally, through the touch of organic fibres, the burnished lustre of Shou Sugi Ban (Japanese charred wood), the scent of old, upcycled ceiling beams, or the subtle intrigue of modern energy-saving technology. The collaboration between Omeraki and Roca further solidifies this commitment, as evidenced in the thoughtful integration of Roca's sustainable bathroom products into the restaurant's design. In partnership with Roca, Omeraki demonstrates a holistic approach to sustainable design. Every detail, no matter how small, contributes to a larger envirionmental ethos.

The restaurant's bathrooms are designed to enhance the overall dining experience, combining tradition with innovation. Roca's Insignia faucets and Beyond basins, complemented by the modern practicality of Hotels accessories, create spaces that are both beautiful and functional. The choice of these collections ensures that the bathrooms reflect the creativity and prestige of the restaurant, while also incorporating the latest technologies for water saving, including the Cold Start system, and practical solutions for safety and durability in public use. As well as providing a sensory experience, the design also emphasises environmental responsibility, in line with the Torres brothers' vision of a sustainable world inspired by nature’s most precious resource. Committed to addressing the critical issue of water consumption, the chefs have partnered with the We Are Water Foundation since 2016.

Not surprisingly, the project by Sophia Sebti and Yachar Bouhaya Architectes had to combine the Asian fusion of the dishes with a modern restaurant facing the ocean that, as in all Casablanca, breathes the Arab and French culture. To achieve it, the Roca products were integrated in a bathroom space in which each piece, due to its shape and composition, is at the service of the senses. In honor of the importance of water and hygiene spaces in the Arab culture, the bathroom of this cosmopolitan restaurant was conceived as a space for beauty and wellbeing. With this in mind, not only did Roca provide sophisticated designs and materials, but also efficient, resistant and functional solutions.
