The Flavour Funhouse is not just a shopping mall, it's a sophisticated museum retail space with millennial appeal. K11 Musea has successfully combined retail with a beguiling mix of craft, heritage, design, and creativity. The result is an artistic, theatrical spatial experience that invites global millennials to discover their muse.
Designers have filled the space with modern luxurious elegance. Under the high black metallic ceiling are three different floor tiles, including hexagonal Cementine tiles that embody the charm of Italian design, to demarcate different zones. The use of sliding doors in black grid for all shops gives the whole environment a homogeneous and timeless atmosphere. A generous amount of space is dedicated to exhibiting contemporary art pieces.
The food court occupies nearly half of the space in the B2 level. The seating arrangements are specially tailored for diversified groups of customers: bar settings for individuals or couples, small tables scattered around a long wooden table for big families and friends. The vibe is relaxing and vibrant.
Despite the architectural limitation of a low ceiling due to the project's basement location, the design team tackled this issue by opening the ceiling to preserve the full height. All of the lights and decorations are secured by a metal grid, creating a chic diamond-shaped pattern on the ceiling. The lighting is warm and not particularly bright, achieving an intimate feeling in the common space and ensuring the shops on both sides are highlighted.
This innovative design has not gone unnoticed. The Flavour Funhouse was awarded Silver in the A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2020. This prestigious award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation.
