A contemporary wine bar with traditional characteristics was the aim of the project. The challenge was to incorporate a fully operative gourmet restaurant – wine bar in a very small space that could host wine lovers during all seasons of the year.
The idea was to place the bar on the outermost corner of the building shell and mirror the interior space to the exterior. This way, the bar is located in the centre of the space and creates two kinds of halls around it. One is the main section which is equipped with wooden tables for four and a communal table in the back of the hall that stands out together with the wine-red leather, L-shape couch surrounding it. The decorative attraction of the main hall is the wall mounted wine cellar created from more than 1000 wooden cubits above the high tables. This tailor-made construction for bottle storage forms a traditional lace pattern with shapes of wine leaves and grapes in green and red respectively.
