The brief called for a small bar and kitchen, in an alley in the city, measuring 3.66m by 28m deep, the venue was to incorporate a narrative of the outdoors. The concept evolved into an exploration of the typology of the wilderness hut creating a uniquely immersive experience. Pink Moon Saloon was to be other-worldy, visually rich and fun. There was a need for light to penetrate the space as well as a compact floor plan that dealt efficiently with the limited width. The alleyway was broken into layers, the drinker’s hut - light filled and airy, the dining hut - darker, dimly lit and centred around the fire. The two huts separated by a courtyard - allowing light into the huts during the day and being lit by them at night. The 60 degree roof pitch relieves the tightness associated with a narrow space, accentuating height and volume.
