Franklinton’s New Favorite Hangout

Connecting community by six degrees
 
Franklinton’s new neighborhood bar provides a historic, inviting, playful, and social community environment to create connections between residents, visitors, and the city. The metaphor of six degrees of separation is used as the starting point for the spatial experience. The theory states anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. The building grid guides users throughout the space to new shifted moments that create excitement and social connections, closing the gap of six degrees of separation. Six° has something for everyone from drink specials for the happy hour hunter, games for the entertainment enthusiast, employment opportunities for the busy bartender, and new networks for the productive professional.

Molly Egan is from Cleveland, Ohio and has lived in Columbus for the last five years while studying interior design. She has an interest in creating innovative restaurant and retail environments, inspired by the sociability and connections between people, products, and places. Molly also has an interest in furniture design and architecture and how interior design is the connection between these two scales. After graduation, she hopes to stay in the Columbus area to practice as an Interior Designer. Molly immerses herself into new things, appreciates being with her friends and family, and enjoys experiencing everything her favorite cities have to offer.
