Other Projects by Dorrington Atcheson Architects
Tyler Street Garage
Type
YEAR
2011
Design team: Kirsty Mitchell from Veneer, Tim Dorrington from Dorrington Architects, Lucien Law from ShineA single storey building
in the Britomart precinct, sandwiched between two brick heritage buildings and
surrounded by glass and steel high-rises, the site, most recently a car park,
encompassed a rawness of character integral to the project.
The brief was for a bar
that provided great food, drawing on the industrial form of the building for
inspiration.
Further to this was the
desire to maintain the original form of the building.
The main bar takes up
the entire length of the site running between Tyler St and Quay St,
incorporating two entrances, both low-key in keeping with the building’s modest
nature.
The fit out is
deliberately pared back with a monochromatic palette, the existing concrete
floors have been cleaned and sealed and retain the parking lines and yellow
“reserved” markings of its former incarnation.
Existing brick walls are
basically untouched both for heritage reasons and aesthetics. The original
steel structure has been retained, stripped and painted black and to complement
this a new steel stairway and steel panels have been incorporated. Wooden truss
beams also painted black float above the space.
The lighting continues
the industrial theme with large hanging pendants and exposed conduits
supporting bulkhead lighting on the walls.
The materials of the bar
area include glass and steel tubing and the bar itself has a riveted steel top
and railway tiled base.
Furniture completes the
aesthetic and is largely made up of steel and timber custom made pieces.
In contrast to this
rawness of materials slouchy leather booth seats and ‘private’ lounge areas
with black linen curtains, leather sofas and carpet provide comfortable spaces
for relaxing.
The north-facing site
looking directly at the harbour over the iconic red gates of the ports meant
the flat roof space facing onto Quay Street was perfect for a roof terrace. A
highlight of the space, the timber decked area with a dedicated bar, open fire,
planting and built in seating, provides a unique sun-drenched lunchtime option
and secluded evening choice.
