On the quiet corner of a cobblestone street in Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighborhood one can find Gair, a new cocktail bar designed by Jeshua Paone Architecture Studio and Kevin Cimini. It’s housed in a 19th-century warehouse constructed by a young Henry Turner, and this history inspired the designers to sand away accretions to reveal Turner’s original concrete shell.

The design interventions continue the minimal, industrial presence like a scalloped bar that resembles an Ionic column topped with richly textured marble. Built-in banquettes soften the space with wood seating and curved backrests, resulting in a serene dining room.
