Bar stock exchange’s trademark industrial aesthetic gets an earthy infusion in the new mumbai outlet by the orange lane
In the commercial heart of Mumbai, a former mill has been transformed into an eclectic concept bar and restaurant by Shabnam Gupta of The Orange Lane. “Our client wished to continue the industrial look and feel, which is the forte of all TBSE (The Bar Stock Exchange) designs,” Gupta explained.
The pre-existing structure’s earlier function as a mill was not brushed over. Blended with fresh design, it flourishes to combine an industrial feel with earthy, yet polished sensibilities. Gupta says, “The inspiration was about proudly displaying the building materials that many try to conceal.”
As a result of this, TBSE showcases its industrial character with an exposed ceiling with visible ducts and pipes, exposed concrete walls, concrete pipes and utilitarian objects. These influences are tempered by the use of neutral tones, wooden furniture, a striking kavlu wall and a collection of eye-catching paintings.
The structure’s built-up area was 3,195 sqft, spread across two floors and a mezzanine. “Structurally, we have added a staircase to the mezzanine and the glass-pitched roof. A few walls were altered as per our design. Also, the façade was recreated,” says Gupta.
