This amazing modern bar design in Lima, Peru features a number of unique and totally unconventional elements that really make it stand out. El Tubo Bar created by Felipe Assadi and Franciesca Pulido and is located in Lima, Peru. The bar is sited in the old and semi abandoned Puericultorio Perez aranibar building, which was dated 1820, built to house an orphanage. The space which had to be used for the construction of the bar was two rooms of the second level of one of the pavilions of the palace. Rest of the building is part of the city of Lima cultural heritage. These two programs live together within an independent and self-referring element. A tube. The tube was drilled on the middle part of one of its walls and the middle of its ceilling generating from these holes the single blue-violet light entrance to the space. This highlights the idea that this elements floats inside the building. Inside this tube, a long funky bar arranged the space making the concept looking like a single element. The space near by the bar was arranged with five sculptures and huge frame pictures. The furniture which is located in the ‘hot tube’ were created under the concept of a membrance that runs along its backing structure, consistent with the lightness idea. All the furniture,dishes, everything in this bar was designed following a very abstract and neutral aesthetic. The materials which have been used were steel, plaster board, lacquered mof and shining white epoxy paint. Source : FELIPE ASSADI + FRANCISCA PULIDO ARCHITECTS Tweet
