M’Arks Sky Bar is a lounge, bar, roof-terrace and co-workplace in suburban London, cantilevered over Eltham high street. Taner’s Sons took a concept of ‘melt into the sky’ as their starting point, designing a dramatic and bold scheme that evolves with the passing day. During the day, it’s a place to enjoy coffee, catch up with friends and quite comfortably work from the bright lounge area. As dusk sets in, the mood completely changes; allowing guests to experience intimacy and opulence in a fluid and moody interior that nods in places to the historical Eltham Palace adjacent – namely in the form of walnut veneer wall panelling which envelopes the bar.
“From the briefing workshops we held with our client, we recognised early on that the space had to offer versatility,” comments Mustafa Afsaroglu, Co-Founder of Taner’s Sons. “They wanted guests to feel happy and relaxed during the day, and at night to feel empowered and special. In their own words “We want people to feel like they have been out for an experience, not just a drink”.
