Wire Bull is a project for an upper-class steakhouse located in one of Sofia's quarters in a 1980s former factory building.
The design was influenced by on one hand the materiality of the existing space and on the other by the industrial style. Original bricks on the walls are revealed by chipping away partially the plaster. This beautiful and warm texture corresponds with the American style of a steakhouse and inspired the use of the other austere materials such as concrete, wood, metal combined with copper accents and lively greenery.
The steakhouse welcomes the guest into a spacious entrance which gives a hint of the whole ambience and leads him into a dining area separated in sections and a large bar top in between. Wire Bull is meant to host 180 people distributed in the dining area and the bar. The dining area is equipped with separated seating corners, tables and bar counters offering enough comfort either for a quick glass of wine or a slow delicious steak.
The interior is completed with the geometrical ceiling at places, wooden wall elements that extend over the ceiling and greenery that ties all the components together and turn the steakhouse into an attractive place, yet realized with simplicity and no excess.
