Wine bar

This is a renovation project in a quiet residential area in Kyoto. The client requested a space where people can physically enjoy wine and music, and also wanted to use speakers that they have a strong emotional attachment to, so I decided to take those speakers as the main part of this project. Tomoyuki Kusunose First, the space was designed to be minimalistic so that the main contents, wine and music, could be experienced through the act of tasting and serving wine, and so that the speakers and turntable would stand out as objects. The materials selected include walnut, which has a European context, and mud walls and copper, which have a Japanese context, in order to create a spatial connection between the foreign context of wine an...

 We planned, coordinated, and completed the conversion of Vinothek Brancaia in Zurich-Seefeld.  Now it sells more wine in the same amount of space. Different than with a fine wine...  ... it shouldn't be possible to see from the interior design that it comes from a somewhat older vintage. That's why the new shop design will last 20 years and longer. The industrial style with lots of steel and wood (inspired by wine crates) is timeless.  Even the grouting on the bar matches the tiles on the floor. Caption Caption Caption Now With 30% More Alcohol Our aim: To make the wine shop not only look beautiful, but above all to sell more. That's why we decide to tear down the wall to the wine store. Now the vinot... More

The idea of setting up a bar in the pre-revolutionary building of the former Ryabovskaya manufactory came to the clients for a reason - their advertising agency is located in the same business center. After moving to a new office, they felt the lack of good places to eat in the Tulskaya metro district. So the wine gastrobar with a democratic character was designed as a place for every day.   The style of the restaurant strives for minimalism - the interior is built primarily on a combination of colors and textures. The architects' goal was to preserve the industrial heritage as much as possible. The brickwork, including in the Monnier ceiling vaults, with its imperfections, became the main accent in the interior thanks to a new bold... More

Trellik Design Studio were commissioned to design the fifth Humble Grape Wine Bar + Kitchen + Shop in Canary Wharf following the success of their previous collaboration on all the other Humble Grapes sites.   The design fuses the retail and dining experiences with a cork shelving system, showcasing the wine collection whilst creating zones of seating that rest within the retail display. This creates an intimate space between the user and the wine whilst being part of a larger space. The use of dark and rich cork textures coupled with warm tones of seating upholstery, metal shelving, and highlights of copper create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Other zones, like the bar and private dining rooms are all adjacent to the main dining z... More

The project includes a training center and a practice for advanced diagnostic imaging in dentistry and is also inhabited by the client and his roommate. The existing house from begin the 20th century is located between two higher apartment buildings and is part of a large urban building block. By filling the gap between the two apartment buildings with an extension, the house harmonizes in scale with its surroundings and contributes to urban densification. The original house and its existing elements were respected and not touched.As the project is located in one of the more expensive districts of Brussels, it was important to use the available space and surface in an intelligent way. In addition to filling up the unused space, the fus... More

This brick beauty was originally the ANZ bank on High St, Northcote. With a formal authority it welcomed people in to make cash transactions. When Tamsin & Chris took on the space they planned to change all that. With a popular existing medical clinic next door, bursting at the seams, they jumped at the chance to create the kind of medical clinic that would celebrate their vision of wellness. Their brief was to make it NOT look or feel like a medical clinic. No white, no foreboding formal reception desk, no hard hose-down-able surfaces.The space was to be warm, inviting & inclusive. With the main patron groups being sexual health & maternal child health, individuals required very different waiting spaces, not one large cent... More

Blanchette Architectes recently designed Minéral, the latest bar project from entrepreneurs and restaurateurs Mathieu Ménard and Steve Grenier. A wine bar by day and a nightclub after dark, the festive space has a particularly discreet atmosphere. It opened on June 27 in the heart of Montreal’s Gay Village.   The starting point was simple: a musical title for each of the three distinct ambiances that succeed each other as the night goes on. Based on that idea, the design team imagined a space whose atmosphere could change radically from its late-afternoon opening to its late-night peak.   Light as raw material“As they emanate from the architecture, light and colours become raw materials that fill the...

Le Cattive, inside Palazzo Butera, is a space with multiple functions, that is today a place dedicated to wine culture but it will become the cafeteria of the museum, when opened.

The space has a central entrance, with two different desks that identify the cafeteria space and the wine bar space. The floors have been partially recovered from the original floor of Palazzo Butera terrace, putting an emphasis on longitude, while the wine caveau, light and modern, is the real exhibition space.

Sawmill Market is a contemporary interpretation of an unsung New Mexico — a place synonymous with electric pink sunsets, bleached white cow skulls, pinon pine and the otherworldly landscapes immortalized by Georgia O’Keeffe and D.H. Lawrence. Together with owner Jim Long (Heritage Hotels and Resorts) and F&B Concept Developers Lauren and Jason Greene (The Grove Cafe), Islyn Studio drew directly from the rich cultural heritage of the Land of Enchantment to create Sawmill Market, a food hall, culinary laboratory and homage to the cultural imagination of New Mexico.

The original assignment was to transform the vaulted interior of an Old Town house into an inviting and cosy place dedicated to the exquisite taste of natural wines. In other words, to fit the purpose of the AutentistaWine Bar. Mr Bogdan Trojak and Mr Antonín Suchánek, the bar owners (not to mention the men behind the successful wine festival “Praha pijevíno” or “Prague drinks wine”), expressed their wish to create a space with an atmosphere that would be in harmony with the wines. Authentic wines are a luxury, so the idea was for it to be just as luxurious as the product itself, yet still simple and natural, for such is the reality of authentic wine production.   By definition, a natural...
