Dark, natural materials provide the backdrop for slightly brutalist curves to divide up this expansive yet intimate space. Overflowing with greenery and speckled with natural light Stem is a moody, romantic wine bar and restaurant.

The project has two conceptual underpinnings. Firstly to create an expansive yet intimate space; one that feels layered, deep and encourages exploration, but is full of small, unique moments - different experiences within the venue. Secondly, to use texture, sculptural forms and light to create drama within the space.
The design contrasts light and dark, rough and smooth, channeling brutalism and using raw materials whilst framing soft plants and greenery. The space is dramatic, texturally rich, natural and phenomenologically considered. Green moments within a sculptural concrete jungle, gently speckled with natural light and intimate pockets to hide away in.
