HEAD’s brief was to design a bar on the 26th floor of an office building in Causeway Bay that could accommodate 92 people in an open bar area with two VIP rooms.According to the dictionary MUSE means “to think deeply” and “to forget about the world around one”. This word formed the starting point of an interior which was to be relaxing, stylish and provide a retreat from the implications of daily life in Hong Kong.A soft colour scheme of purple and black provides an “other-worldly” backdrop to a long curving bar running almost the entire length of the building core. This bar forms the focus of the interior and is fronted with a three dimensional sculptural facing. Reprised at the entrance this unique treatment creates an obvious link to the bar interior but also a striking point of entry.
