Project Name: Moskito

Location: Glasgow

Interior Designer NM Design

Construction Company: Inglis PM

To create a unique bar with mass appeal, whilst maintaining important heritage and history from years gone by. The initial idea was to keep the integrity of the original building which would include carefully and selectively restoring the original stonework walls.

A complete renovation of the interior and exterior space including space planning, lighting design, bespoke furniture design and unique and inspiring artwork and accessories selection. The challenge was to create inviting areas with the use of natural materials and innovative lighting techniques. To incorporate elements of surprise and delight in every corner of the Interior.

The introduction of bold and theatrical lighting was an important part of the brief, to compliment the many functions throughout the areas. The Designer wanted to create a seamless transition allowing lunches and business events during daytime hours, through to a moodier ambience which takes the late-night venue through to a 3am closure. The decision was taken to remove the existing beer garden, to include an extension at the rear of the building to facilitate the sanitary requirements for the space..

Key elements of Moskito include the translucent backlit marble on the corner of the Bar, a focal point as you enter the main floor space. The sound and lighting concept which incorporates pixel mapped LED linear strips allows a shift in mood and vibe at the touch of a button. The linear lighting is a daring decoration that creates a different ambience as the day turns to night, setting the mood whatever time of day.

The venue has a unique look and feel in keeping with the desire to provide a premium bar and eating experience with its distinctively, quirky, cool and effortlessly stylish interior. This speaks to the city of art that is Glasgow and the edgy night life scene that is ever growing in the area. The design of Moskito both interior and exterior flows naturally from one space to another; linking raw and natural materials with the influence of nature and accents from the past. Through the use of bold greenery and eccentric decorative objects you will also see influences of Tulum and South America.
