The Design

About JIS Kuala Lumpur Social Lounge at Bar

Ang JIS Kuala Lumpur ay isang social lounge at bar na nahahati sa tatlong natatanging seksyon. Ang unang seksyon ay gumugunita sa dekada 1920, na may gintong palamuti, nagbabagong mood lighting, mga geometric na chandelier at panel, at wood panel na sahig. Ang pangalawang seksyon, na tinatawag na Sakura Modern, ay gumagamit ng mga haliging Arabescato marble na may pink na ilaw at wallpaper para sa maliwanag at maluwang na kapaligiran. Ang pangatlong seksyon ay isang intimong parlour na hango sa isang Moroccan tearoom. Isang makulay na glass panel ang nag-uugnay sa mga lugar. Ang mga upuan ay maingat na inilagay nang may sapat na agwat upang magbigay-daan sa komportableng pagkain at harapang pag-uusap.

The motif of the chandeliers, panels and light fittings are geometric patterns matched with the wood panel flooring; next, a modern Japanese inspired Sakura Modern lounge, Arabescato marble pillars gives the room a bright and more feminine touch, accented by pink mood lighting and wallpaper; finally, an intimate parlour reminiscent of a Moroccan tearoom.

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.
