Our Solution

Holistically across both floors we ensured they had a cohesive modern bar interior design throughout. In the downstairs we opened up the space to address the circulation issues. As bar construction specialists we designed the bar to make it efficient in terms of storage and to be a focal feature within the space. We designed a new lighting plan that highlighted the produce on display yet also provided a much more intimate space, as it should be for a wine bar
The upstairs bar area was an awkward space as the existing area was airy but arguably not intimate enough. We used a number of subtle techniques to address, i.e. painting the ceilings black which against the white windows also highlighted the beautiful arched windows going into the arcade. Flexibility was the key upstairs as the configuration needed to change depending on the number of covers booked, so modular tables, chairs and lighting enabled the space to be repurposed from tasting room to romantic nightspot and back again with ease. Low-level lighting was also key for a warmer/cosy vibe – all lights on dimmers. The full bar construction and fit-out in Birmingham was a huge success.
