This showcases the interior of Johannesburg’s premier sports bar. The design highlights an industrial-chic aesthetic, blending bold architectural elements with vibrant lighting to create an energetic and inviting atmosphere. 

The space features dramatic arched ceilings painted in a deep red hue, which adds a sense of depth and warmth. A wall of mounted screens dominates one side, streaming live sports, ensuring clear visibility from all parts of the bar. The lighting is warm, accentuating the red and dark tones, while creating a cozy ambiance. 

The bar area is bustling with activity, staffed by bartenders in casual black uniforms. The counter is adorned with taps and glassware, reflecting the vibrant nightlife energy. Posters and graphic art add a touch of character to the walls, while the open space layout accommodates patrons comfortably. 

The design combines functionality with style, making it a top destination for sports enthusiasts to gather, socialize, and enjoy the lively Johannesburg scene.

We wear our heart on our sleeves and design for the next generation in South Africa and across the continent. We pride ourselves on projects that are culturally rooted, relevant and sustainable, adding value to the communities and neighbourhoods we touch. We build across scales and we’re as comfortable executing a home renovation or an experimental urban concept, as we are developing a warehouse, shopping center or safari lodge.

Collaborators in the way you live, work and play through bespoke, cultured, sustainable design.
