BURN by Rocky Patel has opened a cigar bar, lounge and restaurant on Pittsburgh’s North Shore. The space features a large central bar, custom lighting and ceiling features, VIP raised seating and a state of the art HVAC system so visitors aren’t left in a ‘cloud of smoke’. A large ‘walk-in’ humidor is available for VIP cigar storage on-site with an adjacent cigar retail area for visitors. The space features Mediterranean design themes set in contrast with materials native to Pittsburgh such as steel and burnished metal finishes. Conceptual design and brand development by Swatchroom Design + Art +Fabrication. Architectural development and construction implementation by NEXT architecture. NEXT worked as a collaborative partner with Swatchroom to translate their concepts into the built environment.
