WHAT IS A BASEMENT, IF NOT FOR A BAR?
This is interior design at its most full-on; dazzling, extravagant and with a real sense of hedonism and fun.
The bar:
Curvaceous and dramatic, the structure is shaped like a Viking ship’s hull, with under-lighting and the nickel footrest also accentuating its striking form.
The surface:
The highly polished feel of the granite bar reflects everything around it, giving an ‘infinity’ ambience – especially when you look upwards to the backlit mirrored canopy. There are champagne chillers concealed within the cosmic black honed granite, and the bar is wrapped in snake- skin leather-look which also clads the wall panels.
The wine cellar:
A tortoise shell marble backlit fascia extends the bar feel by echoing the design of the bar canopy.
The wine shelving to the side and the wine cellar behind is scalloped to accommodate each bottle neatly.
The spirit columns:
More visual drama is achieved with the spirit columns sitting on a slowly rotating motorised platform. Blue light reflects up and down directly through the mesh shelving, refracting colourful light as it illuminates the liquor bottles whilst casting a tableau of shadows.
And there’s more:
Top up that fizz and wander through to explore the rest of what the downstairs has to offer including a bespoke pool & spa, treatment rooms, dance floor and fully equipped gym. But that will have to wait for a future article!
