The Hotel House - cigar bar themes

Architecture and interior design

A five bedroom house for a Sydney based client who comes to Melbourne for business. With friends living nearby, the brief was a home away from home that works like a boutique hotel. It’s comfortable for him, there’s plenty of room for guests, and it’s set up for entertaining.

The heart of the house is the kitchen and the cinema and cigar lounge. Both are wrapped in warm timber. In the lounge, a raked timber ceiling and carved timber screens filter the light. A deep curved leather sofa, soft lounge chairs and layered rugs make it a room where friends want to stay late. The lighting has several settings, from bright and social to low and moody for a film. The projector and screen tuck away out of sight, and a cigar fridge sits close by, so the night can carry on.
