About Cat Walk Bar de Piano

Cat Walk é un bar de piano situado na cidade de Hsinchu, Taiwán, cunha superficie de 171,9 metros cadrados. O terreo triangular e a posición fixa do aseo determinaron a distribución do espazo. Un corredor curvo rodea o aseo e está decorado con imaxes de copas de viño invertidas cortadas a láser. A porta principal está orientada cara ao escenario, coa barra á esquerda e os asentos no centro. As grosas cortinas de veludo azul nas grandes paredes de vidro absorben o son, mentres que cortinas de veludo vermello enmarcan o escenario. As grellas curvas do teito tamén absorben o son e separan as diferentes zonas de asentos.
