The Tastings Room
6, Raffles Boulevard, Singapore, Singapore
The
Tastings Room is a new addition to the heart of Singapore’s Central Business
District, Marina Square with the fine combination of French/Italian bistro
cuisine and wine cellar under one roof. The restaurant's vision was to
refresh the perception of wine and food culture in Singapore by providing them
at affordable prices. The overall spatial experience sandwiches the
crafted black volumes between two layers of industrial aesthetics: exposed
ceiling and concrete screed floor, to juxtapose/merge opposing aesthetics of
being sophisticated yet affordable.
The
programmatic composition was divided into three areas namely Wine, Bistro and
shared spaces of Wine/Bistro. A U-shaped band of these programs was
deployed as it provided the most flexible layout with regards to shared
functions, main circulation and points of entry/exit. The Central Bar
sits firmly in the middle to negotiate the needs of both Wine and Bistro, as
well as providing the point of sale for this establishment.
Drawing
inspiration from the outer aesthetics of the dark wine bottle and antique
weaved wine basket holders, the outer skin of these volumes adopt a series of
black diagonal tiles while the interiors are inspired by the “hidden” flavors
of wine, taking on singular hues for rooms such as the red wine cellar and
yellow kitchen.
The
“Cabinet of Curiosities” was a reference to the collections by the aristocratic
of Renaissance Europe who sought to collect interesting samples from areas of
geology, biology, natural history and works of art in a designated room. Here,
our red “Cabinet of Wine” is a collection of new and old world wine, along with
its accessories like decanters, preservation devices and wine glasses. The
juxtaposition of all these articles on a curved shelving makes
cataloging/indexing visually more legible thus encouraging easier comparisons,
experimentation and sampling of the wines.
The
coupling of the 2 almost identical function rooms allows a singular space to be
converted through a foldable looking glass. One room is shaded in white while
the other in black, providing an Asian yin-yang balance to an essentially
European gastronomical experience.
The
Central Bar is the most chiseled of all volumes as each specific chisel adheres
to each practical aspect of hiding services, supporting service counters,
anthropometrics and sight lines. The floating tapered form houses a giant
light fixture while simultaneously accommodating the bar’s wine racking needs.
A
selection of strategically placed visibility cut-outs are subtracted from these
dark volumes to reveal internal workings of each enclosure as framed spatial
appetisers perhaps liken to how wine should be enjoyed, one sip at a time and
always in a controlled manner.
