Drake Mini Bar
The Drake Mini Bar just opened. It is a gem of its own, complete with experience of art and design for you to indulge along with food and drinks!
Description from their own words: "150 York Street just got a little more Drake. Now open across from Drake One Fifty, we’re paying homage to the classic hotel bar experience alongside the unique Drake personality that you know and love. Part eatery, part bar, we're serving up an adventurous small plate menu with hand-crafted cocktails and an eclectic wine and beer selection all set in signature Drake aesthetic with Douglas fir wood, teal leather and natural stone surrounded by curated art by artist Rajni Perera. Consider this your new Financial District local for early-morning rituals of espresso-based coffees + stellar breakfast options or your après work watering hole where every dish on the menu is a go-to and cocktails are mixed to perfection, starting with the old fashioned above. We can't wait to see how you experience Mini Bar."
GTAA Passenger Information Zone at Pearson
If you have travelled from Terminal 1 at Pearson International Airport, no doubt you have been greeted by the friendly and organic passenger information zone desks, kiosks, and the giant flower sculpture. Surrounding the functionality of screens with information and staff to help passengers, the design and materiality of the kiosks bring warmth and hint of comfort to the travelers where it helps reduce the stress of traveling indeed!
On the technical side, the back-lit solid surface flower petals and curved LCD screens are pretty impressive. Along with the flower is the circular information desk, it has a curved steel frame to support 2 large cantilevered ends with a double curved sold surface skin. This shows off Eventscape's outstanding capability to engineer and build designs that can achieve the designers vision!
Take a close look next time when you are at Pearson!
