FENIX Rooftop Bar

The goal was to create a standout feature for the building: a mini-rooftop bar that would serve as its crown jewel.

This space was designed to be more than just an attractive amenity for tenants; it was envisioned as a potential future public attraction as well. Equipped with a full-service bar, an inviting outdoor terrace, and offering astonishing panoramic views, this rooftop bar emerged as a central aspect of the FENIX experience. In line with FENIX’s ethos, the space was thoughtfully crafted for versatility, allowing for dynamic changes over time and for a variety of activities
