i have visit the site which had provide from the list of reference on the brief...i have never notice diz place everytym wen i walk pass...hm...afta the visit i realize its really clever..how they transform the thing from a shipping container to a bar and toilet(2 seperate containers)..basically the bar has everything it needs refrigerator, lighting, hand wash, vent three bar table(da table is part of the container by flapping down da walls)..
newaiz here are sum describtion of the bar:
Section 8 opened with a big bang. Located in a Chinatown car park next to the iconic Shanghai Dumplings restaurant, the bar?s opening stayed true to the traditions of it?s neighbours with lion dances, firecrackers and even had honorable John So gracing the event.
Avid Melbourne bar lovers Sean, Richard, Maslyn and Craig have always been into the city?s bar scene and during one fateful booze-fuelled session, the idea of starting Section 8 materialised. Klinger from cult comedy M*A*S*H was the inspiration for the bar?s name. Section 8 was the term for the mentally insane discharge that could have been his ticket out of the war zone. The four boys figured that since they?re part insane themselves, why not?
Section 8?s subterfuge style might have people walking straight by mistaking it for an abandoned car park. The bar itself was fashioned from an ex-shipping container and the seating area made up of neatly stacked wooden crates. Sean says this untouched urban feel was achieved with the help of architectural company Diretribe. On closer observation the giant letters covering the car park floor make up the spelling for ?diretribe? and ?section 8? jumbled in a haphazard way.
Section 8 carries eleven different beers, four reds and whites, and a promising cocktail list is currently underway. In the morning, Section 8 serves up refreshing ?slow food? breakfasts and smoothly changes to a cool bar lit with Chinese lanterns in the evening.
