INTERIOR AND DESIGN Bringing spaces to life
Just as people like to show their individuality through the clothes that they wear, the way in which a building is dressed speaks volumes about its identity. Indeed, how the interior of a building is finished can have as much of an influence as the physical structure itself, on how the space within will ultimately feel and how those that inhabit it, interact with it. With this in mind, it’s crucial to specify the right fixtures and fittings. Every item - be it
flooring or furniture - should speak of the building’s story, right down to the very last detail. Take the recently reinventedMet Bar for example. It is the details within that make this Bar a byword for cool and sophisticated. The new interior features a black sleek lava-stone bar top that snakes through the space
capping a leather-clad bar front. Rich timber exudes high quality and sets off the warm tones of the burnt plum and butterscotch banquettes and chairs. Tables are back-painted glass with golden highlights, reflecting the natural light which floods through during daytime from the newly created glass wall.When evening comes this brings a change of mood with the glass magically becoming etched, obscuring the vision from outside in.
