From the shop to the room
The shop photographs show the long bar surface during fabrication and finishing. The completed room photograph places that work in its intended setting, where the bar front and material details create a consistent character.
More than one piece of the story
The commercial humidor adds a different kind of function to the space. Built in solid oak and Spanish cedar, the cabinet combines glass-front viewing, rows of slatted display shelves and a wood surround with visible texture.
The bar and humidor serve different parts of the guest experience. Each is a specific SHB contribution within the venue, with its own material and fabrication requirements.
