Interior Design Project. An English-style pub.
This space reimagines traditional British character through the atmosphere of Bristol’s old port environment. The harbor becomes the primary visual motif.
The concept is based on the image of an old English harbor, which gradually comes alive as evening falls. Similarly, the pub space fills up with people.
The visual inspiration stems from Bristol Harbor: its port architecture, dark water, wood, and metal.
The harbor image is not conveyed through direct decoration. The most vibrant point in the space is the bar—it serves as the center of attraction and evening activity.
The venue is located on the ground floor of a hotel complex, with windows facing the street. Entry is possible from the street and from inside.
Location: St. Petersburg, Leninsky Prospekt, 153 Area: 171.98 m² Seating Capacity: 50 Patrons: Hotel Guests
The interior concept is rooted in the ambiance of Bristol’s historical setting, blended with English traditions. Materials feature deep blues, dark wood, natural leather, heavy textiles, and local brick surfaces. The space should feel intimate and cozy, incorporating various seating arrangements and subdued, warm lighting. The traditional character of an English pub is complemented by modern lighting solutions.
Objective: To design an expressive interior for an English pub that blends traditional British characteristics with a modern interpretation of Bristol harbor atmosphere.
Goals:
- To form a contemporary interpretation of the English pub while preserving recognizable British elements.
- To convey the maritime theme.
- To establish the bar area as the compositional center of the space.
Painting from the Makhmudov Gallery exhibition «Storm, ” by Maxim Morgunov.In this work, the artist explores the element as a metaphor for uncontrollable forces that govern the world and human destiny. Morgunov does not simply depict a raging sea—he conveys the dynamics of a crushing, irreversible process that is incomprehensible to humans.
