A small room.
A distinct character.
Berloha takes its welcoming feel from an intimate scale: a low table beside the sofa, an armchair for a long conversation and high stools by the counter. Timber frames separate these areas without closing them off from one another. The project brings the interior composition together with furniture details, electrical connections and lighting that support the venue’s daily operation.
Room and seating
A seat at the bar
or beside the sofa.
The compact room offers two ways to spend an evening: conversation at the counter and a slower pace in the lounge.
Design response
A sofa and armchair sit around a low round table, with high stools in the bar area. Timber shelving and frames define the seating, while an open centre connects it to the counter.
For guests and the venue
Guests can choose a place that suits the occasion. The small room accommodates more than a single row of tables.
Bar counter
A counter visible
across the room.
The bar has a recognisable outline and brings work surfaces and storage together in one place.
Design response
A timber counter stands before a stone backdrop with open shelves for bottles and glasses. Lower cabinets conceal part of the working storage. Furniture and electrical drawings coordinate the counter, refrigerator and sockets with the composition.
For guests and the venue
Guests can see where to order. The work area stays compact, with shelving and the counter contributing to the venue’s character.
Materials and joinery
Texture carried
into every detail.
Live-edge timber, rough stone and dark surfaces give Berloha a warm, rugged character.
Design response
A vertical timber slab with a lit insert marks the transition between zones. Nearby are shelves with diagonal bracing, timber sliding panels and cabinets with a geometric pattern. Joinery drawings set out the shelves, fronts and bar modules so the details form a coherent interior.
For guests and the venue
The venue has details guests can recognise and remember. Fitted furniture also provides storage and gives structure to the small room.
Screen in the room
Another reason
to meet here.
A projection screen adds the option of shared viewing to the bar setting.
Design response
The room composition includes a ceiling projector and screen. The electrical plan provides power and an internet socket in the media area, allowing screenings or presentations to be considered as another use of the space.
For guests and the venue
The venue has a basis for themed gatherings in the same room. Media equipment is considered within the interior rather than added as an afterthought.
Lighting scenes
Light changes
the evening’s mood.
Berloha’s lighting has separate layers: general illumination, local light by the seats and decorative accents around the counter and timber details.
Design response
Track lights work with pendants, table lamps and concealed lighting. The switching plan separates the lighting groups. A rendered video shows how changing them in sequence takes the room from a subdued setting to brighter accents on the bar and seating.
For guests and the venue
Light draws attention to the counter, keeps the lounge intimate and reveals the materials’ texture. The owner has a lighting composition designed around different moments of the evening.
Details for daily use
Careful coordination
behind the atmosphere.
An expressive interior needs furniture, finishes and electrical points to fit together precisely.
Design response
Wall elevations relate the shelves and fronts to lighting outlets. The socket plan accounts for the refrigerator, router and media area. Ceiling sections explain the junctions between surfaces, while the floor plan sets out the large-format tiles.
For guests and the venue
Contractors have coordinated setting-out information tied to the interior. It helps carry the design through to the small details guests experience as a carefully finished room.
Automation potential
Fewer switches.
More attention for guests.
Separate lighting groups provide a basis for future scene control in the venue.
Design response
A next step could bring lights together into opening, evening, viewing and cleaning scenes. Heating and ventilation schedules, access monitoring after closing and leak protection near the bar sink are further options to assess. Each requires its own equipment selection and coordination with the venue’s building services.
For guests and the venue
These scenarios could reduce repetitive tasks for staff and help maintain the intended room settings. They are opportunities for future development, not a claim of installed automation.
Project scope
A bar’s atmosphere.
Precision in the details.
The project covers an intimate venue with a bar: seating, finishes, bespoke furniture, lighting and electrical connections. Visualisations and working drawings connect the overall mood with the dimensions and details needed to carry the design forward.
About this project
What kind of venue is Berloha?
It is a commercial venue with a bar in Lviv. The interior combines high seating at the counter with a soft lounge area for small groups.
How is the small space organised?
The bar and sofa group remain visually connected. Timber frames and shelves define the seating without a solid partition between the main guest areas.
What gives the interior its identity?
Live-edge timber slabs, textured stone and shelves with diagonal elements. Lighting picks out these details and draws attention to the counter.
Why include a projector in the bar?
The projector and screen add the option of shared viewing. Power and an internet connection are included in the electrical plan, tying the media setting to the room’s design.
Does the video show installed automation?
The video demonstrates lighting changes in an interior visualisation. The case presents the lighting composition and separate switching groups; it does not claim installed controllers, sensors or an integrated control system.
How do I start designing my own bar?
Start with a floor plan, the seating format you want and a list of working equipment. PISKOR Architect can connect the venue’s atmosphere with its layout, furniture and technical details. Use the phone number on this page to discuss your property.
