Un Voyage Sous Terre : Le Nightcar Lounge Bar
Tucked away beneath the bustling streets of downtown Auckland, The Nightcar Lounge Bar offers an intimate escape from city life. Inspired by historic train carriages and subway platforms, this award-winning space marries industrial grit with luxurious comfort. Designed by CTRL Space, the bar blends moody lighting, rich textures, and deep, sophisticated tones to create a cocoon of tranquillity.
Sam Griffin, Creative Director at CTRL Space, describes the vision: “We imagined an interior that could sit comfortably in for example the middle of Hong Kong. The name ‘The Nightcar’ became the foundation for exploring themes of travel, intimacy, and luxury.” The result is a space where the lavish appeal of vintage train carts meets the urban aesthetic of subway stations.
For flooring, CTRL Space needed a solution that would deliver comfort, acoustic dampening, and practicality in a space serving food and drinks. “Carpet was essential to achieve the desired ambience within a concrete building shell,” Griffin notes. CTRL Space selected premium carpet tile collections that perfectly balanced aesthetics, stain resistance, and cleanability. The combination of contrasting height carpet tiles resulted in a checkerboard pattern. “The pairing gave a nostalgic cut-pile feel with a unique underfoot texture,” Griffin adds.
The Nightcar Lounge Bar is a testament to how thoughtful design and smart material choices can transform a space into an unforgettable experience.
