What do you get when you cross a Speakeasy & a Gallery Space..?!

We have recently been commissioned to design a space which should serve as a secret-bar / speak-easy / gallery / pop-up space.......quite the mixed use indeed! 

These days spaces need to be multi-functional, but a designer need to be conscious not to dilute the impact by "trying to do everything".

The three galleries below outline our design process. We analysed the two typologies and discovered a new type of aesthetic was possible to meet our client's needs.

The best speakeasys in the world right now

We have recently been commissioned to design a speakeasy, a secret bar! We are super excited about it because it is a project we can have a little fun with.

Our research has lead us to analyse the best secret bars from all over the world right now.

They are all dark, moody, with luxurious materials and a unassuming entrance. They are all reminiscent of the original speakeasys of the Chicago & NYC Prohibition time of the 1920's.

And let us know what you think.... my favourite are the ones with secret doors....gah!
