Pink Moon Saloon

In a former bin alley and sandwiched between two office buildings on one of Adelaide’s vibrant laneways is the Pink Moon Saloon. The venue tells a narrative of campfire cooking with a childlike nostalgia for the outdoors. Designed and built in traditional ‘hut’ style, it reflects its context and place.

The brief called for a small bar and kitchen, in a dis-used alley in the city, measuring 3.66m by 28m deep, the venue was to incorporate a narrative of the outdoors. The concept evolved into an exploration of the typology of the wilderness hut creating a uniquely immersive experience.

Pink Moon Saloon was to be other-worldy, visually rich and fun. There was a need for light to penetrate the space as well as a compact floor plan that dealt efficiently with the limited width. The alleyway was broken into layers, the drinker’s hut – light filled and airy, the dining hut – darker, dimly lit and centred around the fire. The two huts separated by a courtyard – allowing light into the huts during the day and being lit by them at night.
