Metropolitan
The Metropolitan mantra was to create a space that captured the essence of the metro rail infrastructure experience in many cosmopolitan cities and also to create a sense of public rather than private space.
To create the ‘metro rail’ experience, DO ARCHITECTURE envisaged the design and construction of an underground tube tunnel, puncturing through the existing fabric of a traditional building, as a way to transfer between the three primary spaces of the venue: the departure lounge, the platform standing dining bar and the beer garden.
We also added to this with the exploration of materials and construction details that conveyed public, utilitarian and functional appearances and language.
Finally, timber rail sleepers are translated as interior cladding throughout the venue, from the departure lounge to the beer garden.
“DO ARCHITECTURE Studio were the catalyst for creating a vision that symbolized our intent for The Art Factory concept.”
