The brief called for a small bar and kitchen, in a dis-used alley in the city, measuring 3.66m by 28m deep, the venue was to incorporate a narrative of the outdoors.
The concept evolved into an exploration of the typology of the wilderness hut creating a uniquely immersive experience.
Pink Moon Saloon was to be other-worldy, visually rich and fun. There was a need for light to penetrate the space as well as a compact floor plan that dealt efficiently with the limited width.
The alleyway was broken into layers, the drinker’s hut - light filled and airy, the dining hut - darker, dimly lit and centred around the fire.
The two huts separated by a courtyard - allowing light into the huts during the day and being lit by them at night.
The 60 degree roof pitch relieves the tightness associated with a narrow space, accentuating height and volume.
