Challenges

Client's Vision: PMac's Hospitality envisioned a renovated space that would not only continue to attract its loyal clientele but also appeal to new visitors. The client sought an environment that balanced aesthetic appeal with functional design, ensuring that the venue remained a preferred choice for patrons.

Creative Vision: Affect Studio, handling the interior design, aimed to blend traditional elegance with contemporary high-end finishes. The vision was to create an atmosphere that felt both timeless and inviting, ensuring that every corner of Bartley Dunnes reflected sophistication and quality.

Overcoming Challenges

  • Compressed Program: The primary challenge was the aggressive timeline. The project demanded completion within 10 weeks to avoid prolonged revenue loss.
  • Old Structure Issues: Bartley Dunnes, being an older structure, posed several issues such as outdated fixtures and structural quirks that needed innovative solutions without compromising the building's integrity.

Conclusion

  • Efficient Project Management: Affect Group utilized an intensive project management approach to adhere to the compressed schedule. This involved meticulous planning, coordination with suppliers for timely delivery of materials, and efficient labor scheduling.
  • Customized Design Solutions: For the old structure challenges, Affect Studio developed customized design solutions that respected the building's original features while incorporating modern enhancements. This approach included selecting materials and finishes that were both high quality and compatible with the existing structure.

The renovation strategy was anchored in maintaining operational excellence and aesthetic integrity. High-end finishes were selected for their durability and visual impact, ensuring that the venue could withstand high traffic without sacrificing style. The design team worked closely with construction managers to ensure that every element of the interior design was executed within the ambitious timeframe.

The Bartley Dunnes project stands as a testament to Affect Group's capability to handle high-pressure renovations with finesse and strategic foresight.
