BAR CAISSA.

SYDNEY, NSW.

PROJECT      Bar Caissa.

 

LOCATION     Sydney, 2000

DATE             2020

Bar Caissa, situated in the heart of Sydney's CBD, is a fresh concept exploring interactive design solutions in the hospitality scene. 

Named after the goddess of chess, Caissa, the space is designed to accommodate both the activities of drinking and communal chess matches. The notion of game playing taking place in a hospitality setting, encourages socialisation and a sense of community; aided by an open plan and featuring a sunken seating space, Bar Caissa blends formal and causal spaces to achieve this atmosphere.

Tumbled marble flooring evokes imagery of game boards and contrasting tones of black and white are reminiscent of chess pieces. With eclectic accents incorporated throughout, Bar Caissa is the ultimate space to unwind and mingle.
