Book Ing Bar Zhongshan is located in the heart of the city, next to the MRT Shuanglian Station. The client's vision was to create a space where customers can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse themselves in a relaxed and tipsy atmosphere. The designers aimed to convey a sense of mystery and exclusivity, reminiscent of stepping into a hidden world.
One of the standout features of the bar is the secret entrance. Customers must pass through a door reminiscent of an "escape room" and press the right trigger to gain access. This ingenious idea adds an element of surprise and intrigue, setting the tone for the unique experience that awaits inside. It's like stepping into a scene from a Harry Potter movie, where a key object triggers a magical setting.
The interior design of Book Ing Bar Zhongshan is a masterclass in creating a luxurious yet open space. To achieve the desired open plan, the designers installed a 10-meter-long bar that stretches across the space. This not only provides ample seating but also creates a horizontal visual extension, making the bar feel even more spacious.
The bar itself is made of black marble, exuding a sense of elegance and sophistication. A woodworking alcohol wall complements the marble, adding warmth and texture to the space. The designers also incorporated classical British elements such as mirrors and golden wooden alcohol cabinets, further enhancing the luxurious atmosphere.
In addition to the bar area, Book Ing Bar Zhongshan offers a cozy seating area for customers. The designers arranged the sofas in a staggered manner to create a sense of privacy, allowing customers to enjoy their drinks without feeling exposed. This booth-like setup adds an intimate touch to the overall experience.
Throughout the space, attention to detail is evident. The designers used materials such as woodwork, technology leather, marble, iron, cultural stone, old doors and windows, red brick, and drapery to create a subtle luxury. A suede red drape adorns one of the plain walls, adding a touch of warmth and softness. LED light strips installed below the drape create a sense of hierarchy, enhancing the overall ambiance.
Book Ing Bar Zhongshan is a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of Yang-Po Chen. By combining the worlds of alcohol and literature, this bar offers a unique and immersive experience for its customers. Whether you're a book lover or a connoisseur of fine drinks, Book Ing Bar Zhongshan is sure to captivate and delight.
Experience the magic of Book Ing Bar Zhongshan and indulge in a luxurious urban escape.
