Euro Bar Auckland North Island

Euro Bar and Restaurant has been a longstanding Auckland treasure. Great service and amazing food in a glamorous setting overlooking the harbour and waterfront are drawcards that have enhanced Euro’s stellar reputation.

Recognising that the interior was tired, the client asked for a refit that matched its reputation and also attracted younger customers.

With big ideas to launch a refreshing rebrand with seasonal menus and art collaborations, the client wanted a background style to support it. The brief was to create a ‘modern club-by-the-sea’ concept.

CTRL Space wanted to create a relaxed space that was timelessly cool, would appeal to the younger market, and would retain and enthuse its existing customer base. Coastal Californian beach club precedents became a key influence and driver for the overall look, feel and materiality.

A luxury material suite was selected to identify Euro as a premium destination. Pink travertine stone, white marble and lush leather throughout create a slick but relaxed tone.

CTRL Space introduced soft outdoor drapes that would dance in the breeze, grand modern candelabra-style chandeliers, and tropical plants to create that dreamy coastal Californian experience.

To achieve a seamless indoor\outdoor flow, the architects extended the drapes, chandeliers and plants into the restaurant interior.

Feature exterior walls featuring iconic mid-century Palm Springs breeze blocks help to portray the Californian look while connecting with the outdoor banquette block base slab.

To create the illusion of a larger, extended space CTRL Space lined the walls with bronzed mirror, partially covered with stretched linen fabric panels to soften and add acoustic qualities, layering and materiality.

The architects also concealed the ugly, existing exterior architecture with a suspended, white-washed cedar-panelled ceiling, giving the outdoor area a sleek finish.
