This members’ bar lounge targets to the executives who are keen in
spending stylish city nights.
It goes without saying that you will feel
something special and extraordinary for those who want to become a member and
who are willing to use this bar. What’s more, once you start using here,
usability and comfort will play a great significance to the operation form. You
might find these two aspects mentioned above quite odd, and to give just the
right touch, was our challenge.
Indeed, this “two aspects” was the keyword
for designing this bar lounge.
Take one step into the reception hall. Warm lights that
transmit the stones illuminate customers.
They find themselves reflected in the
black-frame-mirrored wall surface, in which they have never seen before. Just
by walking through this hall, it has a helpful effect of switching customers’
moods.
Bookshelves occupying the walls look like a
luxurious study room neighboring the hotel lounge. From this style, customers
will feel the relaxed atmosphere. On the other hand, to make a contrast with
the artifacts (books), we set natural rock face as reliefs to offer
extraordinary impressions. Furthermore, we chose a luxurious color, champagne
gold, to make good balance. We set a custom-made wine cellar (you can see
inside from both sides) for dividing the spacious room. We made a see-through
boundary to connect the modern space composition and authentic space
composition. As for the VIP room tables, our image was to display moments of
randomly-cut-wood into a glass case. Woods have the sense of stability and
glasses have the brittle impression. When inverting these two designs, we can
bring out two aspects of the materials.
Thus, we gave bilateral character to the lounge space and material,
by controlling the constitution of the bar. As a result, we were able to create
a sophisticated and high-grade bar lounge.
