In the old town of Geneva, the Alhambar is located in the foyer of the historical theatre Alhambra. This bar is very popular in the cultural scene of the city and gives different proposals during the day (and night, too).

CONCEPT

The renovation of the Alhambar bar/restaurant involved several constraints. Being a building of historical value, some elements could not be removed, replaced or even touched. In terms of style, the classic style of the theatre in which it is located had to be taken into account and combined with the client’s more modern ideas. In addition, the Alhambar is a modern meeting place for cocktails and aperitifs, a classic restaurant for a lunch break, a family place for Sunday brunch, a nightclub at weekends and a location for private events. So, the choice of seating and tables reflected the functional flexibility of the venue. The fixed furniture, bar and bench, fit the elliptical shape of the room. The construction of the curved bench was certainly one of the main difficulties in production. Equally special was the construction of the back counter, where shelves with a golden metal structure have a mirror covering in the background. The cladding of the bar counter is the result of several samples in terms of shape, size and colour.

Project challenge

Historical theatre in the heart of Geneva

With regard to the construction site and logistics, the main difficulty was to deliver within the old town in an area quite difficult to reach. Furthermore, as for the installation we had to respect some existing elements that characterize the building in terms of its historical value.
