Designing for speed and intimacy

Vitaly Hospitality approached us with a clear vision for Taxman Bar: a premium 30-seat cocktail venue in Amsterdam where guest experience is paramount. Operating in a closed refurbishment site with strict exhaust routing constraints, they needed an ergonomic bar design that wouldn't compromise on output. We stepped in to engineer a space that effortlessly handles 100 drinks an hour during peak Friday rushes across two dedicated workstations.

Services

  • Bar station design focusing on high-volume ergonomics.
  • Fabrication of two custom bar modules tailored to the venue.
  • Supply of premium equipment, including a Hoshizaki ice maker, bar fridges, and a bar freezer.

Overcoming constraints in a classic site

Transforming an existing site at Oudebrugsteeg 7 into a high-end cocktail destination required meticulous planning. The space presented significant exhaust routing challenges, demanding a creative approach to layout and equipment integration. We collaborated closely with beverage lead and designer Vitaly Alekseyev to ensure the design met the precise needs of his program.

Two custom stations, zero bottlenecks

Serving 30 guests might sound straightforward, but hitting a target of 100 craft drinks per hour requires flawless ergonomics. We designed and manufactured two custom bar modules specifically tailored to the Taxman Bar workflow. By integrating a premium Hoshizaki ice maker, specialized refrigeration, and a dedicated espresso station right where the bartenders need them, we eliminated wasted movement. This creates an environment where the staff can maintain a premium guest experience even during the busiest hours.

Where premium hospitality happens

Taxman Bar is a testament to what happens when ambitious hospitality meets confident craft. By turning complex spatial constraints into a streamlined, high-performance cocktail station, we delivered a venue ready for opening day and beyond.

We create the space. You perfect the art.
