Aesthetic Brilliance

Crow’s Nest’s aesthetic appeal is a harmonious blend of contemporary and classic design elements. The sleek, modern decor is accented by industrial influences and maritime touches that pay homage to the island’s rich history.

Walking into Crow’s Nest, you’re greeted by an ambiance that is both chic and welcoming. The modern furniture and clean lines are contrasted with raw, industrial elements like exposed beams and metal accents, creating a unique and stylish atmosphere.

Leveraging Tin Tile

A standout feature is the tin tile ceiling over the bar, adding a touch of vintage charm and elegance to the space. This design choice not only enhances the visual appeal but also ties the contemporary setting to the classic elements, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.

The Royal Gold finish and a mid-century inspired pattern (Pattern #30) fit right in at the Crow’s Nest. A square double halo stacked vertically over the bar creates the dramatic yet down-to-earth feel that is so prevalent in the space.
