About JIS Kuala Lumpur Lounge Sosial dan Bar

JIS Kuala Lumpur adalah sebuah lounge sosial dan bar yang ditata dalam tiga bagian yang berbeda. Bagian pertama membangkitkan nuansa era 1920-an, dengan aksen emas, pencahayaan suasana yang berubah-ubah, lampu gantung dan panel bermotif geometris, serta lantai berpanel kayu. Bagian kedua, yang dinamai Sakura Modern, menggunakan pilar marmer Arabescato dengan pencahayaan dan wallpaper berwarna merah muda untuk menghadirkan atmosfer yang cerah dan terbuka. Bagian ketiga merupakan ruang duduk intim yang terinspirasi dari ruang minum teh khas Maroko. Sebuah panel kaca berwarna-warni menghubungkan ketiga area tersebut. Penataan tempat duduk diatur dengan cermat agar tamu dapat bersantap dengan nyaman dan berbincang secara tatap muka.

Design Challenge: JIS, originally from Japan. We need Malaysian people to understand JIS culture, by designing a bar which significant and identical to Japanese culture, yet able to adopt to Malaysian market.
Hence most of the materials and fittings were imported from overseas. And yet we need to complete the full renovation within 4 months, for this 11,000 sqft shop lots which located at level 3.
Time is critical but we managed to complete everything within 3 and a half months.
Inspiration: The project attempts to bridge time and space, a ‘Back to the Future, Gateway to the Past’.The Art Deco design features bold geometric patterns, hard angles and lavish use of gold and steel. The Sakura Modern lounge takes inspiration from Zen philosophy. The open plan yet cosy atmosphere, bright and graceful lighting, are reminiscent of spring. The colourful futuristic glass panel can be visualised as a tunnel bridging two separate points in space-time from the Gatsby and Sakura Modern era.
Project Duration: JIS Kuala Lumpur is located in Star Boulevard, two minutes away from the heart of city center, KLCC.
The project started in early June 2019 and completed in December 2019.
It tooks nearly 6 months from design till completion.
Operation Flow: By creating spacious seating layout, people able to connect and socialize each other face to face. Spacing between seating was carefully measured to ensure maximum comfort, while dine-in as well as interacting with people. Color changing from the glass wall and table lamps acted as a key element, which has ability to makes people forget stressfulness from works and focus on connecting to others.
And yes,it works.
