Roof on the Wit

Chicago, IL

This successful rooftop bar, with its open air patio needed a refresh and a rethinking. The bar at the north end of the club was almost invisible at night and the space lacked a focal point. With the creation of an 18-foot back bar, the champagne finish and liquor display now glows with internal illumination. The u-shaped banquettes were redesigned with carved, custom lattice which were back illuminated to add an element of warmth to the modern design. The lighting design complemented the new feel of the space, helping to define the dynamic bar and create an easy, manageable transition from day to night.
