Embark on a captivating three-level, multi-sensory journey within the confines of a 392-square-metre space designed to transport guests to an unparalleled world of experiences.

The entrance sets the stage with a mesmerizing wall-to-wall mural, stretching across the two-story expanse. Delicately framed by a custom-built Victorian greenhouse, the structure ascends toward the flowing tent-draped mezzanine, creating a harmonious fusion of artistic brilliance and architectural finesse. The walls, dappled in the ambient glow of custom wall sconces featuring specialty textured glass, imbue the mural with depth and vitality, transforming it into a living, breathing masterpiece.

In the heart of this sensory journey lies the iconic 20' iron greenhouse structure, standing proudly within a soaring 24' high expanse. Custom built on-site, the greenhouse boasts laser-cut details and individually welded scrolled embellishments along its arches. The vertical posts of the structure are adorned with custom-made light sconces, perfectly matching the overall aesthetic. This greenhouse not only adds a touch of elegance but becomes a living sculpture, enhancing the overall narrative.

The centerpiece of the space is the bar—a showpiece of understated elegance. Clad in reflective gun metal, it seemingly floats in the forefront, with an arched backdrop that proudly showcases an extensive array of spirits and champagnes.

The vintage Victorian lounge furniture, handpicked and refurbished, beckons patrons to sit and socialize amidst bold and luxurious prints. Towering behind the seating area is a display of fractured mirrors that ascend from the ground floor to the mezzanine, offering a kaleidoscopic and altered perspective of the entire space.

A stark contrast awaits below the surface—an elevator descends to a subterranean cave, a hidden enclave adorned with a bespoke custom sprawling light installation. This enchanting feature meanders through the cave, leading the way to a full-wall bronze mirror. The strategic placement of the mirror creates an infinite visual experience, reflecting the bar as though it were seamlessly carved into the very walls of the cave.

Every detail in this subterranean sanctuary reflects a thoughtful approach to design. The play of light, texture, and reflective surfaces transforms the cave into a captivating and otherworldly experience. Hand-laid metal mesh forms the base, creating long, hand-formed curves that are then layered with mixtures of variously tinted plaster and cement. The final touch involves intricate hand carving and chipping, evoking a mine-like ambiance. It's a testament to the creativity harnessed within the budget constraints, showcasing a commitment to crafting a space that transcends the ordinary and highlights the focus of the tasting menu experience.

In conclusion, this space stands as a testament to the boundless possibilities when imagination and ingenuity align seamlessly.
