Konsepsyon an

Konsènan 1874 Ba Kache

1874 se yon ba kache ki chita nan yon ansyen kay-boutik ki gen plis pase san lane nan Penang, Malezi. Antre a plase dèyè yon fasad ki fè sonje yon boutik pwovizyon nan ane 1960 yo, pandan enteryè a gen yon stil endistriyèl e brit. Echafodaj rekipere fòme estrikti prensipal ba a, epi objè ansyen yo te achte nan mache dezyèm men lokal yo. Yon gwo pati nan planche, plafon ak mi orijinal yo te konsève. Twa zòn mennen envite yo soti nan devan boutik la pou rive nan ba a epi apre sa nan zòn pou fimen an. Pòt kache, sèn ki leve ak ekleraj ki ka ajiste ranfòse sansasyon sipriz la.

Pwopriyete Inik
This bar breaks convention by combining a nostalgic 1960s grocery store facade with a rugged, industrial interior made from scaffolding and salvaged items. The stark contrast between old and raw materials evokes surprise and curiosity, while the use of recycled materials promotes sustainability and social conversation.

Teknoloji Pwodiksyon
We retained much of the building’s original structure—flooring, ceiling, and walls—while using reclaimed scaffolding for the bar's core framework. Vintage objects were sourced from local secondhand markets. The design evolved through mood boards, full-scale material mockups, and close collaboration with local craftsmen to preserve authenticity and texture.
Defi Dizayn
We faced the challenge of balancing conservation with innovation. Limitations from heritage regulations and limited budget pushed us to creatively reuse materials like scaffolding and old furnishings. Sourcing suitable vintage items was time-intensive. Achieving contrast while maintaining cohesiveness was a key design tension we resolved through iterative prototyping.
Rechèch
We conducted contextual and ethnographic research to understand local nightlife expectations, user psychology, and historical architecture. Surveys and interviews with patrons and bartenders informed functional layout. The result was a concept that resonates emotionally and functions efficiently, blending storytelling, reuse, and social engagement into a viable business model.
Enspirasyon
Inspired by the cultural richness of a century-old shophouse and the owner's desire to create a non-mainstream, buzzworthy bar, we explored the idea of contrast—between nostalgia and industrial rawness. The hidden-bar concept combined with a nostalgic grocery store front evokes a sense of mystery, surprise, and storytelling.
Dire Pwojè
The project began in August 2024 in Penang, Malaysia. From initial concept to final construction, the design phase and build were completed efficiently, with the bar officially opening in October 2024.
Fliks Operasyon
The bar guides guests through three distinct zones—storefront, bar, and smoking area—creating a journey of visual and spatial transformation. Elevated stages improve visibility, hidden doors enhance the mystery, and repurposed elements create interactive nostalgia. Lighting is customizable for ambiance and performance, enhancing mood and efficiency.
