Our design concept for the Main Lounge Bar in Hotel 2035 at Sleep & Eat Event was to create a space focused around a ‘Physical Distance’, as opposed to the commonly used term ‘Social Distance’. Now more than ever we need to reach out and be more social to keep our community connected within this global pandemic.
The Lounge Bar design addresses the ‘New Normal’, by allowing guests to enjoy a casual drink or hold a business catch-up safely, keeping physical distance in order to maintain their safety and that of others. The main focus of our design with central drink shelves forming a tree like structure, metaphorically highlighting that nature is at the heart of our physical and mental health and community.
Una Barac, Founder and Executive Director says: “Our design explores the ergonomics of making socialising at physical distance enjoyable and fulfilling.”
