McGettigan’s at Iris, Dubai – Customized Interiors by HKZ

Project Overview:
HKZ Interior Decoration LLC proudly unveils its latest accomplishment — a custom-designed bar counter for a premium hospitality venue in Dubai. This project reflects our commitment to merging bold aesthetics with functionality, delivering a luxurious experience that caters to modern nightlife and lounge environments.

From initial design sketches to final execution, every detail was carefully curated to suit the client’s vision of a high-end, contemporary bar space. The result is a sleek, inviting bar counter that stands as the centerpiece of the venue.

Design Concept & Vision:
The client envisioned a sophisticated yet warm environment that would elevate the customer experience while offering ergonomic service functionality for staff. Drawing inspiration from urban minimalism and industrial elegance, our design team created a dynamic centerpiece using tactile textures and contrasting finishes.

The bar counter’s clean lines, fluted paneling, and ambient lighting give the space a timeless appeal that complements the overall interior design of the lounge. Soft curves and warm tones were introduced to break the rigidity and create an inviting feel.

Execution & Challenges:
Our team worked closely with the client to maintain the project timeline and ensure precision in fabrication. Custom joinery and metal works were carried out in our in-house facility, enabling us to maintain full quality control.

One of the project’s main challenges was achieving perfect alignment and curve detailing for the bar top, which was executed using CNC cutting and hand finishing for seamless edges.

 
Client Feedback:
“The HKZ team exceeded our expectations. The bar has become the heart of our venue. The finish, lighting, and seating are not just elegant — they’re functional and guest-friendly.”
