My client wanted to steer away from the typical American brewpubs and create a restaurant and bar that would be a unique community gathering space where guests can interact with the bar and kitchen. The already existing industrial building came with elements like concrete flooring, a black industrial ceiling and windows with black steel frames. I wanted to build around the original details only adding a few other materials to accentuate and compliment the simple and industrial feeling of the space. This meant that I needed to be creative in what materials to use and how to use them. The goal was to create a framework where the beer together with the fresh food and the people interacting would be the main event. A minimalistic living room where everyone is mingled together.
