Tasmanian Tonic Bar

BURO Architecture + Interiors complete Tasmanian country club bar.

October 31st, 2007

Tags: BURO

Appointed by the Federal Group, in conjunction with Geoff Chamberlain of Seventh Sense Consulting, BURO Architecture + Interiors has recently completed its latest project: ‘Tonic’, an exclusive bar in Launceston, Tasmania.

Located at Country Club Tasmania, an established social destination near the CBD, Tonic is intended to push design boundaries in what has traditionally been regarded as a tame hospitality scene. It is poised to become the most popular watering hole for the trendy young professionals in the area.

The design brief asked for a venue that would remain sophisticated from day through night. BURO responded with lighting carefully tailored to achieve this effect and cleverly created a series of zones within the bar. They incorporated an outside terrace with sculptural banquettes and an elevated lounge.

HOSPITALITY :: Step into the sumptuous Sound Garde

HOSPITALITY :: Step into the sumptuous Sound Garden by @hoggandlamb .

There is something outlandish to the sheer size of the Sound Garden - a grand venue which demands a crowd. Occupying the entire space from floor to glazed ceiling, the upper portion is arranged as a wide passage surrounding the double height volume of the atrium space. As such, the space is effectively three floors high with only the lower two being occupied, while the remainder is just fabulous height, light and scale.

A 7 metre Ficus Hillii tree rises through the centre of the staircase from the ground floor to be met by a jungle of hanging plants on the second. Located in fortitude valley, the weather is just right for these plants which have flourished in the short time the Sound Garden has been open.
