2012 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Embassy Theatre Bar Cinemas
Faced with the challenge of a fitting out a basement area, the architects of a new bar in the depths of the Embassy Theatre have created an internally-focused space with a warmth and richness of materiality. The space is symmetrically planned around the axis of the long entry corridor, with its gentle slope and repeating arches of light and dark. The main lounge continues this theatrical theme, with the glamour of the 1920s film era apparent in the colour, texture and pattern of the fabrics, light fittings and wall treatments. All in all, a good night out.
