Bar Guru Bar by KLab Architecture

Greek architects KLab Architecture have completed an extension to a bar in Athens with a facade clad in rusted steel.

The project, called Bar Guru Bar, involved building an extra storey on top of the existing building, adding a new facade and refurbishing a jazz bar within the establishment.

The exterior features two large rusted steel plates that open using hydraulic mechanisms to create large windows.

Located in a run-down area of the city, the bar is intended to resemble a bunker – protecting its contents during the day and opening up at night.

The interior of the bar is inspired by improvised jazz music.
