# Rusty Club Refurbishing Bar Guru Bar Gets a Bronze Revival by KLab Architecture By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-09-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-guru-bar References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2009/09/21/bar-guru-bar-by-klab-architecture/) & [klab.gr](http://www.klab.gr/en/index.asp) A local bar in [a rundown area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gachot) of Athens, Greece has been given a second life from the creative team at KLab Architecture. The project, Bar Guru Bar, involved covering an existing building with large [rusted plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairmont-golden-prague) and two massive hydraulic windows. The interior of Bar Guru Bar has been refurbished with the inspiration of a [hip jazz club](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/commune-design), however, the exterior of the building is what attracts the most attention. Its motif comes from the idea of a bunker: protect the inside by day, make it completely accessible by night. The project is interesting and is, at first glance, a little awkward, but combined with the new interior and the whole mode of the project, it seems that Bar Guru Bar might be the place to be. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Rusty Club Refurbishing:** Opportunity for creative architectural designs that incorporate distressed elements for a unique aesthetic. - **Hydraulic Windows:** Potential for innovative window designs that provide both functional and aesthetic benefits. - **Bunker-inspired Motifs:** Possibility for incorporating military or industrial themes into architectural designs for a distinctive look. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Architects could explore new designs that incorporate rusty elements and hydraulic windows for visually striking and functional structures. - **Hospitality:** Hotels, bars, and restaurants could draw inspiration from Bar Guru Bar's unique refurbishing project to create captivating spaces that attract customers. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers could explore the use of bunker-inspired motifs to create distinct atmospheres in commercial or residential spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Bar Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-installation.md) - [Galvanized Beer Hall Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camden-town-brewery-1.md) - [Local-Inspired Charming Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gxbar.md) - [Abandoned Bar-Transformed Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xstudio.md) - [Sea-inspired Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/civico-29.md) - [Industrial-Inspired Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glassbrick-apartment.md) - [Sculptural Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-far.md) - [Whiskey Barrel-Decorated Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laizhou-bar.md) - [Villa-Transformed Hot Pot Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gud-restaurant.md)
