Pelosof Bar / Post-Spectacular Office

The ground floor consists of four spatial units, the entrance, the patio, the bar, and the lounge room. A scenery built by objects that represent the diverse overlapping layers of the city and the building, creating multiple narrative connections with a predominantly crafted identity and futuristic techno essence: an extensive central marble table, engraved walls with primitive symbols, neon lamps, and Turkish hammam mosaic tiles, bright red walls and inox pockets of freshly cut grass, bright-colored flags of imaginary countries, blown glass ornaments, an almost bare entrance creating a passage between the buzzing exterior and the private interior.

The basement, consists of four units as well: the restaurant, the waiting room, an outdoor space, and auxiliary facilities. The aim was to differentiate from the ground floor but also to keep the main narrative: gatherings among symbols and artefacts but in a more serene and grounded environment. The scenery becomes earthly-toned and total in its approach.

The comfort of a laid-back dinner in a Mediterranean rural backyard was the desire for the restaurant and the backyard: “unfinished” plaster walls, marbled tabletops, and gradient effect painted ceilings with ceramic lighting fixtures, combined with naked machinery and pastel off-white metallic infrastructures.

The intermediate spaces work as excuses for spontaneous placements of peculiar symbols: church-like seatings, a roaring neon orange dragon, a holy ceiling spot. All these coordinate a certain attraction on unique objects, an interest that can be found throughout the detailing of the project.
