Rounded bar station

The AMV studio designed the bar as the central centerpiece of the space. Oblong in shape and topped with a custom chandelier, its rounded lines complement the curves of the historic windows, creating a remarkable visual harmony. Bar Circus transformed this aesthetic vision into a technical reality:

- Heart of Production: This bar is the nerve center from which all the drinks for the restaurant and the vast outdoor terrace originate. Designed as a monolith to integrate discreetly, its structure is punctuated by concrete blocks that affirm its character.

- No Counter: The bar has the unique feature of not having a traditional customer counter. It has a simple ledge, allowing fluidity in the space while maximizing the work area.

- Technique and Flow: The constraint of size and the significant volumes of glassware related to simultaneous service in the dining room and garden required an ingenious solution; the glass wash station has been relocated to a remote washing area along with the dishwashing station. This ensures a regular and unobstructed supply of clean glassware.

The challenge of this project lies in optimizing the work and storage spaces beneath the surface:

- The bar station includes six positive doors and one negative door for cooling needs.

- The other storage areas have been meticulously optimized, alternating between closed dry spaces and open niches for immediate access to glasses and carafes.

- The selected cocktail station is the Unity model. Its ice storage capacity is the only one capable of ensuring the volume necessary for cocktail production and supplying the site's ice buckets with a minimum of ice refills from the machine accessible in the basement. The coffee machine and Unity cocktail station have been positioned towards the back of the bar. This choice frees up the front to allow for the installation of two additional cash registers during the summer, handling the large volume of orders coming from the terrace.

The most remarkable aspect of this project is the perfect execution of complex curves, adherence to dimensional constraints, and the integration of storage under work surfaces. The Joli bar is thus proof that technical efficiency is the essential foundation of bar service.
