Marie Meko
Senior Interior Designer
It's Five O'clock Somewhere
Marie Meko’s involvement, from concept to completion, was to create a unique space to gather for cocktails, conversation and a view. The bar adjoins an airy entertaining lakeshore summer kitchen and needed to be comfortable both for intimate gatherings, as well as for entertaining large groups. ?
About the result:
To create an exuberant and dynamic welcome to the bar, Marie selected a powerful groin vaulted ceiling, also referred to as a double barrel vault. The herringbone pattern in the brick is enhanced by the row of bricks that outlines the top of the walls and is repeated in the fireplace surround.
