The Design

About Cat Walk Piano Bar

O Cat Walk é um piano bar localizado na cidade de Hsinchu, em Taiwan, com 171,9 metros quadrados. O terreno triangular e a posição fixa dos sanitários definiram o layout. Um corredor curvo contorna os sanitários e é decorado com imagens cortadas a laser de taças de vinho de cabeça para baixo. A porta de entrada está voltada para o palco, com o balcão do bar à esquerda e os assentos ao centro. Espessas cortinas de veludo azul nas grandes paredes envidraçadas absorvem o som, enquanto cortinas de veludo vermelho emolduram o palco. Grelhas curvas no teto também absorvem o som e separam as áreas de assentos.
