The combination creates a simple yet, elegant balance of colour and texture. The floor finishes consists of two materials. The emerald dark green marble walkway divides the bar from the lounge area, whilst the lounge and bar counter floor areas are cladded with solid timber. The termination junctions are defined with a dull metallic bronze beading complimenting both the rustic timber as well as the emerald marble.
