Elevation of bar

Bar wall casing is made out of brushed gold which serves as an staggering art feature and storage space for bottled drinks. within these units, we wanted to further define and create a vibrant space with the us of patterned tile flooring around the bar zone.

This bar creates a lively and intimate area where friends and family can feel more connected with he experience.

Section

The choice of these rectangular pendant lights are installed at various heights, to reinforce our concept of whimsical. Under kick cove light provides a warm glowing effect under the bar table and highlights the colourful tile below

Elevation of dining wall

For the social dining space, we wanted to harness a lot of playfulness into the design, incorporating a textural wall piece that features staggering cubes which creates a focal artistic piece in the space.

Perspective

The banquette seating in the social dining space has integrated LED strip lighting behind the seats which grazes a soft glow onto the textural pattern of the wall. The same rectangular pendants are used to hang above the dining tables for creating a whimsical atmosphere.
