Plants such as oregano (Lippia graveolens) and nopal (Opuntia spp.), foundational ingredients of Mesoamerican food culture, echo the organic and locally sourced products offered inside. Each planting decision follows the same principle that guides the shelves: when things are done with responsibility, they generate value beyond themselves. Buying well becomes doing good, and the landscape translates this belief into living matter—proving that what is done right, feels and tastes better.
The landscape is conceived as a regenerative layer, where native and adapted species are selected for resilience and for the invisible services they provide: soil regeneration, shade, habitat for pollinators, and seasonal rhythms linked to agricultural cycles. Emblematic species of Mexican cuisine are intentionally incorporated, reinforcing the connection between land and food.
Super Cope understands landscape as part of a broader food system—one that nourishes bodies, supports responsible producers, and restores the land it depends on. The project moves beyond aesthetics to become a framework for care, cultivation, and trust.
