BAROUS

Barous is an all-day bar-restaurant located on Evia’s Lake, in Greece. Its interior design combines classic and contemporary elements praising the building’s neoclassical character.

The interior space has a central arrangement with the bar at the back, and large openings on the façade, maximizing the view towards the lake. The building’s original form guided the distribution of table seats. Various seating types occurred, from linear banquettes and booths to a central sofa element and free-standing chairs accompanied by custom made marble top tables with wooden frames. The exterior seating arrangement combines fer forgé chairs, striped patterned sofa cushions and wooden tables.

The goal from the beginning was to create a welcoming and atmospheric space recalling moments from the past. The concept draws inspiration from the Art Deco era, which is attributed through an abstract and modern approach. A significant design aspect that brings us back to the ‘20s in popular European capitals, is the black and white marble mosaic flooring with the marble skirting. The well-known pattern merged with the brightness of white marble pieces reminds us of traditional Parisian bistros. Marble is also carefully placed on the floor of the bar area, creating an elegant separation between bar and dining hall.
