Space Activation - Bar and Restaurant

The first insertion into the public space to activate it is a bar and restaurant. The style of the bar will be slightly different to what is currently found in Brisbane, and is modelled of the establishments found in the Salamanca district in Hobart. During a recent trip there I found the the bars in the area had a very different feel to those in Brisbane. while they are focused on drinking, food can be ordered from the bar and the overall feel is slightly more relaxed and formal then what is found in Brisbane. 

The bar will have no roof, other then the roof of the overall space, leaving it open to the views of people using the walkways of the public area. The space will be lower then the walkways, and will consist of 3  tiered levels with the walls angled slightly outwards, to break the harsh feel of the recessing. To make the space feel more relaxed and conducive to drinking and eating, the walls of the space will be lined with timber beams, with the potential for vines to grow over them, changing the feel of the space over time. 
The two bar areas will be set into the existing myer centre, and will use a rounded shape to seperate themselves from the rest of the space. The bar can be seen in the images below

The top image also shows a large window in the myer centre over the bar that helps to link the 2 seperate spaces that occupy the block. There is also and entrance to the myer centre just to the right of the bar entrance, which can be seen in all 3 images.
