Bar in Dublin

by Christian Ovís

A bar in Dublin features a green pub façade beneath a reddish-brown brick upper storey. Large windows and a dark door are framed by narrow green mullions and light-coloured accents. Above the façade are window boxes with yellow, red and white flowers set amongst the greenery. A row of small tables and chairs runs along the pavement, with a tree and a dark lantern on the left-hand side.

The composition is defined by the contrast between the deep green pub and the warm brickwork. The light falls on the edges of the façade, the flowers and the light-coloured paving. Loose, impressionistic touches of colour give the foliage and the small terrace details a lively appearance. The tall windows make the interior space palpable, whilst the horizontal façade band brings the different parts of the premises together.

This Irish cityscape will appeal to lovers of Dublin, traditional pubs and overgrown shop façades. In a living room, dining room or reading nook, the colour scheme can complement dark wood, green fabrics and warm lighting. The design emphasises the small seating areas and the inviting atmosphere of the bar. It thus creates a recognisable travel-inspired accent, combining urban architecture, flowers and a relaxed terrace vibe.
