About Shuffle Te Whakaahua o Roto mō te Pā Inuinu me te Wāhi Whakatā

Ko Shuffle he wāhi pā inuinu me te wāhi whakatā kei Hong Kong. Ka noho te wāhi nei hei tātari i waenga i te wāhi o roto me te tāone pukumahi o waho. Ka whakarite te hoahoa i tētahi raupapa wāhi ki te taha o tētahi ara whakamua. Ka tīmata te ara i tētahi kanohi whare māmā kua oti i te peita kakano mā-kiwikiwi. Ka haere tonu te ara ki tētahi wāhi manaaki e neke atu i te kotahi rau ngā pou porotaka whakamarama. Kātahi ka tae te ara ki te wāhi whakatā, kua whakapaipaitia ki ngā pounamu 300 kua whakamaheretia kia whiti tahi me te puoro. Ka whakarato ia wāhi i tētahi wheako hihiri motuhake me tētahi taiao mārie mō ngā manuhiri.

Unique Properties: Shuffle executive lounge and club is a unique social space acts as a filter between its internal space and the city outside. The club is designed with different spaces along a progressive path.
The path starting from the minimal façade to the reception area with over hundred illuminated cylinders, then proceeding to the lounge area, which decorated with 300 bottles that programmed to illuminate along with music. Each space is a temporal field giving a unique sensory space.

Design Challenge: On the street of Lan Kwai Fong, the bustling night-life hub in the heart of Central, Hong Kong, the designer intentionally decorated the façade of the lounge with greyish white texture paint, a minimal and rational block making a strong contrast among the glittering bars and clubs. The dark entrance has created a mysterious way heading to the unknown.
Inspiration: In Hong Kong, glamourous details are normally adopted for bar & lounge design. While in reality, what Asia lacks, is spaces placing user experience as core value. We aspired to transfer the venue into a “zone of zen” for visitors - with the progressive designated path, we tactically installed different lightings and sought the balance between blank and designed areas, to create a space with sensory excitement, yet act as a calming space allowing guests to set aside their hustle behind.
