An expression of warmth and intimacy this 46 m2 space creates an experience that cultivates social connection in an elevated setting.

We sought to activate this otherwise unused space in a dynamic and attractive way, using materials that created a muted and deep palette. A fully carpeted floor gives the space a warm and soft feeling.

Maximizing seat count was a goal in order to use the space for both everyday use and events. We chose to utilize built in banquettes and a service bar with no seats to create a footprint that was functional for multi use.

Located in the West Village neighborhood of New York City this small but impactful space can be found through an arched doorway leading from the popular Spaniard bar and restaurant. A petite cocktail bar with a focus on playing vinyl records and serving craft cocktails it’s a perfect place to enjoy an evening out.

Our design approach was to use a minimal material palette with a calming and inviting feel. Brass accents, breccia capraia marble bar top and plaster accents gives a sense of timelessness.
