With this curved wall bar, both storage and entertaining is beautifully adapted into this home design.
Designer Jemima Retallack and Mitchell Thompson conceived the idea for this built-in wall bar while renovating an apartment in Sydney, Australia and trying to come up with both a storage solution and a way to unify spaces. The simple curved wall design is able to bring together the previously poorly defined areas of the living room, kitchen and dining space. The wall is present throughout the home, but never all at once in an overbearing manner.
Inside the curved wall is a clever built-in storage solution combined with a fully stocked bar and wine rack. Concealed away, these additional elements can be brought into the aesthetic of the apartment only when they are needed.
