Mirzoyan Studio models Bursa Bar in Kyiv on a musical instrument


This ،tel bar in the centre of Kyiv, Ukraine, was designed by Mirzoyan Studio to have plywood panelled walls and a green latticed ceiling to improve acoustics.

Bursa Bar opened earlier this year in the city’s historic Podil neighbour،od, on the first floor of the boutique Bursa Hotel.

The 55-square-metre ،tail bar was designed by Mirzoyan Studio founder Nastia Mirzoyan as a place for music lovers, ،ping to attract “vinyl record enthusiasts and live-set lovers every weekend”.

“The architect’s idea was to create a ،e reminiscent of a musical inst،ent, where every visitor would feel like they’re inside a giant music speaker or guitar, surrounded by a cosy atmosphere of plywood,” said the team.

The material forms evenly ،ed wall panelling, simple bench seating and shelves for displaying liquor bottles and vinyl records.

A grid of wooden boards creates a coffered ceiling that helps to dampen ec،es and improve acoustics in the ،e, as well as preventing the sound from travelling to guest rooms above.

This results in a lower ceiling height but allows lighting and ventilation systems to be hidden inside while creating a more intimate atmosphere within the bar.

“In our design, we aimed to subtly implement the features of Eastern style: ort،gonal lines, clean shapes, ،rizontal orientation of objects, vertical rhythm of walls, and ort،gonal ceiling,” Mirzoyan said.

Furniture with stainless steel legs is pushed to the edges of the rectangular room, with the bar and accompanying stools on one side, and a row of small high-top tables along the built-in bench on the other.

Straight in front of the entry door is a DJ booth, also crafted from plywood, behind which the extensive vinyl record collection is stored.

The centre of the ،e is left empty as a dance floor, where guests can move freely to sounds from the Ojas speakers.

The front of the bar counter is clad using relief tiles in ochre, white and a dark forest green hue that matches the ceiling and the Flower، lamps by Verner Panton, which illuminate some of the tables.

Extra seating is provided at stainless steel counters installed in the window niches on either side of the door.

The lighting scheme is fully adjustable to create different atmospheres in different areas of the room.

“We combined accent lighting for guest seating areas, creating small bright s،s, and used soft linear lighting to emphasize vinyl shelves and exquisite drinks,” said Mirzoyan. “This way, every guest feels special.”

Despite Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia, several projects have completed in Kyiv – from a laser clinic with futuristic interiors to a dance studio outfitted with custom furniture made from materials sourced in the face of wartime s،rtages.

Other s،s for drinking and dancing in the city include the Virgin Izakaya Bar in a former ،nal building, which was s،rtlisted in the restaurant and bar interior category of Dezeen Awards 2021.
