The Anatomy of an Outdoor Bar
Built-in ice wells, hidden bottle storage and the height that makes guests linger.
A bar is a piece of social engineering. Build it 110cm high and guests stand briefly. Build it 95cm and they pull up a stool for the evening.
We integrate refrigeration drawers, a 60cm ice well and a screened bottle cellar below the counter — everything the host needs without breaking eye contact with the conversation.
The face of the bar is where we apply the villa's most beautiful material — bookmatched travertine, fluted oak, or hand-glazed zellige — because it's the surface every guest will lean against for hours.
Where to put it
Never against the best view — the bartender should face the guests and the guests should face the sea. A bar in the corner of a terrace, angled at forty-five degrees, does more for the atmosphere of an evening than one running along the boundary wall.
