We drew inspiration from the locale to create a space that uses natural and aged materials, a monochromatic palette with splashes of color, and art that celebrates the menu and the region.

Wood flooring, brown granite brick, and a green stone top provide an earthy feel to the bar. Barstools feature vintage rum labels from decommissioned distilleries printed on plush leather upholstery and the bar back mirror is beautifully hand etched with the image of a seaplane.

JWB is an award-winning steak and seafood restaurant whose decor is inspired by its heroes: the spear-fisherman who provides its fresh fish daily.

To create a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere, we focused on the contrasting materials and colors. Vintage framed artwork celebrating the region's historical ties to canneries pops against a rich brick wall and allows space for the deep blue curtains to lighten the atmosphere.

To create a focal point above the exhibition kitchen, we designed a large Picasso-inspired mural of a spear-fishermen at work.

The design of the bathrooms at JWB was most definitely not an afterthought. Our richly saturated color pops take center stage in these smaller spaces which nicely complement the sophistication of the main space.
