Some of you may recall me asking the height of the average beer glass a few months back, well this is what it was all in aid of.
I was originally asked to just help with the fit as the work had to be completed in 10days but as the designer usually only does kitchen/bathrooms I ended up doing the detailed design and making all the units etc.
The outside was mostly constructed on site as the top had to cover the original curve of the existing bar and incorporate the shutters (still to be shortened so they don’t hang down). Construction is basically 10mm oak veneered MDF (washed out by the flash, much less colour difference) and dressed up with solid oak mouldings.
The vertical parts of the lower carcases are 18mm birch ply (12mm backs) and all horizontal surfaces are pre laminated (formica/decamel covered) ply. Upper display unit and shelf unit are veneered MDF. All 1100kg of boards came from Richard Russel. For durability all boards are edged in 5mm solid oak lipping – all 135 meters of it!!
The rear counter is an off the shelf staved oak top but the bar top is a custom made 40mm thick full length wide board top with 80mm downstand that I had made up by South London Hardwoods who also ran most of the oak mouldings for me.
Sink is a £1000 Blanco 1500mmx650mm semi commercial job, deep draws are made up with Blum tandembox components, wire baskets for crisps are by Hafale via Isaac Lord
There are a few things that I would have done differently but had to work to a budget and do things as the client (Golf Club) wanted. I will hopefully pop back and get some photos once the flooring and new carpets are in place not to mention the bar being restocked.
