visualizatioins for the world around us

ITEM: Second in a series of proposed designs meant to enhance the character of a city and/or location.

DEMAND: Private investigation of a small scale wine/martini bar.  The design of the space isolates public/private spaces in all dimensions of the space.  In the “private” areas, wood is wrapped on the walls and ceiling, and a bright tile pattern is utilized on the floor, bringing a comfortable feel to those areas.  In the “public” areas, more durable materials are utilized, such as; concrete, drywall and a dark tile.  All of the furniture is custom designed for a cohesive feel to the space.

The name of the establishment, One.Point.Five, is based on the concept of the bar.  Each table or chair is alloted 1 1/2 hours per seating.  This time allotment will in turn give customers the proper amount of time to relax and eat, but still make it possible for large quantities of customers to be served in an evening.  Small plates are served to ensure quick preperation time for food.  Reservations are not taken, but as a twist, diners will be able to “buy” minutes from patrons that may still be waiting to be seated.  Also, slower nights will feature “clock’s off” in which there will be no time limit alloted.
