Sebastian Barlica designed the “Evolution Bar” inside an 18th century neo-gothic building in Bucharest, Romania.
Located in the historic center of Bucharest, known as "Cafeneaua Veche" (The Old Café), the eclectic Bar Evolution was made with HI-MACS ®, contrasting with the style of the building in which it is inserted, bringing a fresh style and contemporary for the new interiors.
Bar Evolution, located in the basement of the building, is part of a renovation project by young designer Sebastian Barlica. The owners' wish was to design a space with a Mediterranean restaurant on the ground floor and a night club in the basement. The basement is characterized by a brick vault, with transverse arches, has a relatively small surface and the task of transforming it into a contemporary space, club for entertainment and nightlife is very demanding.
This is why the designer approached with the idea of harmonizing, on the one hand, the classical and stylized Byzantine decorative elements, such as the paintings on the main transverse arch, and, on the other, the modern and decorations made of HI-MACS ®.
