Hispanic-inspired bar interior featuring a found caravan that is sliced and dissected to provide benches and features lightboxes for windows

Structural works include opening up of the facade by removing the cellar from the front and the relocation of the male toilets. These actions pushed the services to the rear of the space and the patrons to the front.
