Prince Bar embraces Pulsar technology
-
The Prince Bar, centrally located on Church Street in Athlone Ireland, has undergone a large-scale refurbishment programme. The new design is wholly suited to the bar's active lunchtime trade but can also be revolutionised into a 'warm temperate funky up-beat haven' in the evening.
The owner, John Callanan of the Callanan Group wanted something contemporary and attractive. Callanan also knew that a legendary lighting design would be the key to the look and identity of the venue so he brought in ICAN Technology, who has previously worked on similar projects all over the country.
The huge building that comprises the Prince Bar was divided into zones, each with its own innovative decor and purpose to meet and suit the different environmental needs. Downstairs, incorporates the carvery area, sandwich bar and a modern lounge and bar section under sweeping ceilings, another small cocktail bar and various seating areas, subtly divided from the rest of the floor plan for ultimate comfort and privacy. The main fixtures that were used to create such an inspired look consisted of Pulsar's ChromaDomes and ChromaStrips which all contributed to the warm timbers, earthy tiles and dark cranberry and brown leathers.
The lighting scheme was programmed purposely to create subtle slow changes and beautiful, embracing tones that would create a lovely bubble in the room, highlighting and enhancing the Prince's architectural features. The venue's perfect colour mixing is achieved through LED technology, which was carefully selected for its long life and low maintenance.
