MYBAR in Beirut | .PSLAB Beirut

Posted: 07 Sep 2010 07:56 AM PDT


Lebanon-based design firm .PSLAB beirut recently has completed the MYBAR in Beirut, Lebanon. A bar/restaurant whose space is functionally divided into 3 areas; an entrance corridor, a drinking area, and a dining area. The entrance corridor leads to the drinking area which is separated from the dining area by an irregular shaped staircase extending from a rugged wall starting at the end of the corridor.

.PSLAB beirut used a line of uplights to light the entrance pathway and connect it to the drinking area.

The uplights continue parallel to the rugged wall and stairs producing a play of shadows created by the different layers in the wall.

The drinking area features floor to ceiling poles carrying small cups' stands.

To accentuate the curvature of these poles, we set downlights at the top end of each creating a vertical beam of light detached from the rod.

The dining area is characterized by visible white ducts covering the ceiling and maintained over a two-level bar connecting the dining area to the drinking area. The furniture layout in this area follows the layout of those ducts.

.PSLAB beirut chose to use the visible ducts in order to create a lighting system unifying the two main sections of the space (drinking/dining). Hence, we developed lighting fixtures in white finish, fixed to the ceiling on the sides of the ducts.

To have a rectangular horizontal beam of light centered over the tables, a gap created by the circular opening of the duct defines the shapes of the objects.

Continuing over the bar, the light objects are set on one side of the duct and in opposite directions in order to light the path behind the bar. Similarly for the sushi bar in the other end of the space.

Ébano Bistró & Bar | Arquitectura en Proceso

Posted: 07 Sep 2010 07:01 AM PDT


Ébano Bistró & Bar by Mexican architect Arquitectura en Proceso aimed to transform a building that was created under the design of a fast food franchise look, into a bistro. This project is situated in Delicias, Chihuahua, Mexico, a small town located on the north of Mexico. Agricultural, livestock, and desert as main characteristics of the region.

The exterior transformation of the building was marked by the existing roof which was in very poor condition so it was necessary to build a new cover in order to affect as minimum as possible the existing steel structure of the building and create a new image to identify the new business. The building was wrapped on a micro-perforated skin which allows a glimpse of the silhouette of the old building and creates a double skin to cover the intense heat of the area and at the same time generates a vestibular access through this thin skin of aluminum.

Working under the idea of the region emerges from inside the conceptualization of the project, a wooden ceiling which creates a continuity on the walls and floors, which in turn bifurcates to form the space of the bar to serve the restaurant on one side and the terrace on the other. This ceiling is the main attraction of the project, which reveals the topography of movement in the desert region and refers to the name of the restaurant in the dark color of its timber.

The work space is very simple, is developed in a simple and functional route separating the spaces in public areas and services, creating a two-way travel on a single axis running from the kitchen to the terrace through the areas of restaurant and bar. Leaving aside the furniture arrangement which allows an easy and affordable distribution to give a fast and efficient service to customers.
