A hollow tower-like volume, with a curved and reflective interior surface, faces pedestrians on the commercial street. This structure brings natural light over the bar during the day, while giving a shimmering and slightly distorted view of the sky to the patrons. At night, it acts as a glowing signal of the activity within.

The bulk of the building is pulled back against the rear property line so that when the large doors are open the interior and exterior are joined as a continuous open space along the streetfront, half covered and half open to the sky.
