Description
Solus was asked to provide distinctive tiles for the bar and lounge area of The Punch Bowl Hotel, reflecting the aesthetics of a traditional Belgium beer house. Photoraphy by Oliver Kersh
Tiles Used
Bespoke tiles from the Capital range, Flesk 2RPV530, Halogen range, Nebulous 2RPV439, Halogen range, Kitsch 5PRY514, Carnival range, Kitsch Decor 5PRY514d102, Carnival range, Pattern Design 7 6ZLC290, Capital range
Outcome
Timeless and traditional, the beer houses that line the quaint cobbled streets of Belgium have been hailed as the inspiration behind The Punch Bowl Hotel’s stunning transformation.
JS Design Partnership led a £1 million renovation and refurbishment project at the establishment in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, seeing the once dilapidated pub metamorphosise into a charming and characterful venue befitting of its Victorian heritage.
To complement the vintage vibe, Solus’ Pattern Design 7 tiles were chosen to create a floral mosaic that is featured throughout the building.
As a tribute to The Punch Bowl Hotel’s rich history and to guarantee its roots are not forgotten, a bespoke circular logo, comprising Halogen’s Flesk and hexagonal tiles from the Capital range, greets guests as they enter the pub. The venue’s signature ocean blue star takes centre stage in the middle of the circle, created using Nebulous tiles, also from Halogen.
Solus’ rustic Kitsch and Kitsch Decor tiles give the reception counter, which leads upstairs to Bobik’s live music and comedy club, a quirky and fun feel to reflect the vibe of the entertainment space.
