About Cat Walk Pianobar

Cat Walk er en pianobar lokalisert i Hsinchu by, Taiwan, med et areal på 171,9 kvadratmeter. Den trekantede tomten og restroomets faste plassering formet planløsningen. En buet korridor går rundt toalettet og er dekorert med laserskårne bilder av opp-ned-vendte vinglass. Inngangsdøren vender mot scenen, med barddisken til venstre og sitteplassene i midten. Tykke, blå fløyelsgardiner på de store vindusveggene demper lyden, mens røde fløyelsgardiner innrammer scenen. Buede takgriller demper også lyden og skiller sitteområdene fra hverandre.
