Shishka Bar

Place:
An old one-storey building in the historic center of Moscow. After a reconstruction, the ceilings were elevated to 5.8 meters and gothic style panoramic windows were installed, a few years before our project began.

Aim:
Transformation of the one-storey building with a basement into an establishment capable of accommodating 80 people

Solution:
We decided to add the second floor and expand the basement in order to have 3 fully-fledged floors. To do so, we had to fully demolish all the existing lift slabs and to erect them once more. The roof became accessible and two staircases were added, one of which leads directly to the roof from the building.
All elements of the interior are hand-made on the base of our project

Materials:
Birch plywood, pine wood
Wood permitted the creation of very intricate shapes with simple technical solutions.
Usage of wood excludes coloring and traditional elaboration as it has its own texture.
