Kansas City, Missouri. An exterior patio for Julep, curators of fine whiskey and hand crafted cocktails.
The pandemic hit hospitality hard, and operators needed ways to host patrons at a distance without losing covers. A bar that cannot seat people cannot trade.
Pendulum's design extends the interior lounge outdoors under the cover of operable glass windows, which keeps the seats sellable in more weather and more conditions than a plain patio would.
Operable glass is the difference between a seasonal amenity and year round inventory. On a constrained urban bar the patio is not decoration. It is the covers the room otherwise cannot hold.
