Roughing It

The Buffalo Club

Recreating the dry dusty look of the natural habitat of the buffalo drove the design of The Buffalo Club in Brecon Street, Queenstown.

In a total revamp of the previous bar that occupied the site, walls have been plastered with yellow sand then combined with a lightly textured Resene Sandtex finish on ceilings in Resene Double Spanish White (complex neutral). A matching yellow sand finish dominating the exterior is combined with Resene Waterborne Woodsman on balcony areas, a combination of finishes that takes one back to true Buffalo country.

Inside beams and ceilings are finished in Resene Colorwood Dark Oak to enhance the natural appearance of the timber. The look is completed by doors, frames and skirtings in Resene Lustacryl Double Spanish White and a stampede of thirsty customers soaking in the atmosphere then rehydrating their senses with their favourite drink.
