Tobacco leaves, barn wood, and bourbon urge

Kentuckians to come on home and relax a while.

Inspired by the lifecycle of a tobacco plant, Jake’s Cigar Bar in Lexington, Kentucky tells a story many Kentuckians are familiar with.

Jake’s Cigar Bar is filled with rich textures, plush furniture, and soft lighting, an environment which welcomes guests and invites them to stay a while. Equipped with a full bar and humidor, outdoor patio, and bocce court, Jake’s makes it easy to unwind and enjoy an evening with friends.

The structure itself is reminiscent of a burley barn, clad in blackened wood and corrugated metal panels.

The flooring of Jake’s Cigar Bar has been reclaimed from Kentucky tobacco barns, bringing with them an authentic history, decades of stories of hard work stripping and hanging tobacco.

The handmade green tile located in the restrooms represents the green tobacco leaves which are hand-rolled into the cigars known and loved at Jake’s today. Wall sconces glow inside of an amber, reeded glass, similar to the tip of a dragged cigar.

The custom wood veneer chandelier evokes a sense of tobacco leaves hung to dry in the rafters of a tobacco barn, and each sheet fluctuates with the humidity and the season.

Custom end tables are created with local barn wood and finished with a Shou Sugi Ban preservation method which chars the wood to give it the same coloring characteristics of a burning cigar.

Interior walls are painted a light grey, inspired by the soft tint of cigar ash as the lifecycle of the tobacco plant comes to a close.

Removing

Knowing the importance of collaboration amongst staff, EOP Architects knew that it was time for a critical space update. Walls were removed and century-old concrete columns and beams were stripped bare to allow for more openness and natural light in the space in order to foster a greater sense of collaboration and team work.

The office is filled with bright, textural finishes and easily movable furniture encourages staff to relocate to work with different teams as projects come and go.

A central library organizes the office’s materials and research information, while an open floorplan allows for project teams to communicate easily and often while collaborating on projects.

Structural concrete columns and beams bring rich texture and decades of history to the space while allowing the structural elements of the building to be exposed. Stripping back the space allowed for greater daylight penetration into all areas of the office.

The space boasts two conference rooms, equipped with large screens, computers, video-conferencing capabilities, and ample pin-up and whiteboard space. These areas allow for heads-down, more intensive collaboration and meetings, and provide all of the necessary accoutrements to facilitate great design.
