RAIA Interiors Architecture Award

Iceworks Bar is a space which revolts against the normal of turning bars into expressions of five minute trends with bling glitz and glamour. The objective of the space was to be comfortable, practical, and exude a sense of class and quality. The space was to be clearly modern and of its time but the detailing was to reflect quality craftsmanship and expression of the materials used. Particular care was taken to ensure the comfort of patrons through a diversity of spaces and careful acoustic treatments which reflect the mood of each space. Iceworks sees itself as a venue which takes its position in the local community seriously. Lighting treatments ensure that the corner becomes lantern like at night and artwork commissioned for the space is located to be as accessible to passersby as for patrons.
