i’m extremely lucky that my job allows me to work on many types of project - small, large, commercial, residential… there’s always something different to keep the creative juices flowing!
one of my current projects is a an amazing residential property that the client is building from scratch, allowing us to really push the boundaries, no more so than in the basement bar-nightclub-cinema room… I know, so jealous!
the brief was to create a great space for entertaining and partying with friends, that could also double as a cinema room when needed. it had to feel atmospheric and incorporate seating, a bar, cinema screen and dancefloor.
our final feel for the space was… dark, blue and fun!
*please note - all images via pinterest and not my own work.
the basement location is rectangular with no windows and we wanted to soften the linear/flat feel. to do this we added a curved dancefloor and bar, which help to make the room feel wider and more interesting. the bespoke wall shelves and banquette seating also have a curved design, which tie the whole look together.
to create a dramatic feel, the two main walls are lined with velvet curtains with mood lighting integrated in the pelmets. by painting the ceiling blue to match the walls we will create a dark, moody basement jazz bar feel. the finishing touches, a large gold disco ball and a bespoke neon wall sign, add the fun party feel!
the install is well and truly underway as we speak, which is VERY exciting! dancefloor and bar have been fitted, all electrics first fixed and the furniture is in production… not long now… watch this space!
