Bar & Retail Space in Barito

BAR AND RETAIL SPACE IN BARITO, JAKARTA (2O24)

THE PROJECT IS A UNIQUE OCCURRENCE WHERE A ROUND-THE-CLOCK SHOP AND NOCTURNAL SPEAKEASY SHARE A SINGLE RENOVATION, CHOREOGRAPHED AS A BLEND OF POETIC SPACES THAT ARE SENSUOUS AND FULL OF SURPRISES.

CAMOUFLAGED NIGHTLIFE SPACE

SECRECY HERE IS TECTONIC, NOT A SHTICK. SPACES AND MATERIALS GUIDE MOVEMENTS AND ARRIVALS, SO THE BAR & LOUNGE READS AS A DELIGHTFUL REVEAL OF NIGHTLIFE. THE SHOP UP FRONT IS WARM AND STYLISH; THE BAR & LOUNGE IS DIM AND INTIMATE, BOTH SCULPT TASTEFUL ATMOSPHERES IN THEIR OWN WAY.

VIGOR OF RENOVATION DESIGN

THE SCHEME FAVORS INSERTION OVER REPLACEMENT: LOAD-BEARING ELEMENTS AND ROOFINGS ARE RETAINED, SURFACES ARE LAYERED, AND A SINGLE GRID-RECTANGLE WOOD SYSTEM IS ADAPTED IN SCALE AND FINISH TO READ DIFFERENTLY IN SHOP AND BAR & LOUNGE MODES. THIS RESTRAINED STRATEGY CREATES CRAFTY EFFICIENCY TO YIELD TWO COMPLEMENTARY PROGRAMS WITHIN ONE COMPACT FOOTPRINT.
