SUZUKA Retail Showroom Design & Build

The challenge:

Named the ‘Suzuka Lounge’, this is a showroom that aims to give walk-in customers a different experience. Instead of merely showcasing material samples and brochures as most showrooms would, the Suzuka Lounge enables customers to ‘live’ within the space. How do we achieve this?

The Ground Up solution:

Think of a showroom. Do you imagine endless shelving racks, display cases, and possibly samples and brochures that are squirreled away into cabinets? Instead, we wanted to present a livable, immersive showcase where customers can experience the space as if it’s their very own home or office. By using Suzuka’s products and giving it a real-world application and 1:1 scale context, we are providing visitors an interactive experience where they can see for themselves what it’s like to apply these products in their space.

The solution is also crafted to help interior designers find inspiration & make it a more convincing pitch to sell Suzuka products to their clients. Informative, educational, fun and very much instagrammable, we’re proud to have been part of changing the showroom scene.

Modern European-inspired Luxury Hotel Design

The challenge:

Skillet at 163 is not unfamiliar to foodies as a casual fine dining spot but as their popularity grew, their menu grew finer too and the preexisting interior did not reflect the sophistication of the Modern European cuisine served. How do we transform the space that is reminiscent of modern-day Europe?

The Ground Up solution:

We stepped in and introduced contemporary European-inspired hotelier luxury which embodies the essence of the cuisine served.
The entrance had to be a spectacle on its own. We designed a portable door inspired by a hotel baggage trolley as an ornamental and functional device. The golden archway which leads into the restaurant aims to create an impression that patrons are in for an unforgettable experience.
Upon entering, one would be greeted by black & gold hexagon tiles, brass finishes, and exquisite decorative lights that give of a yellow hue adorned the black walls which create a classy yet timeless interior. Add in a touch of botanical European wallpaper and plush seating to the space to further enhance its glamour.
The original underutilized alfresco area outside the establishment was framed up with steel and glass panels which transformed it into an astounding dining area that lends sophistication to the existing building façade. The glass box was also designed to be transformative so that it could turn into a private, exclusive event space.

Authentic "Char Chan Teng" Cafe Build & Design

The challenge:

Kam Kee Café, is an authentic “char chan teng”, which has extensive roots in Hong Kong. Being the first international outlet, Kam Kee at The Starling Mall aims to be a homegrown brand. An interesting point we noted during our visits to the many outlets in HK was that every outlet had its own unique design that represents and drew inspiration from the location where it is situated at. We learned that the brand, along with its store designs evolve. How can we design a restaurant by maintaining its original oriental charm and brand story yet still be uniquely Malaysian?

The Ground Up solution:

We infused Kam Kee Café with a retro HK vibe paired with local Malaysian features. The resemblance of HK is expressed by the white & green mosaic and teal tiles that surfaced in most of their outlets. A vibrant teal shade, the brand’s color is applied on the grill partition with a unique hexagonal pattern which frames the store’s frontage. This pattern is enhanced into a decorative wall paneling along with the bench seating too. Whereas rattan was introduced as a local element, seen in the café counter, lighting, and furniture.

Spanning across the room from floor to ceiling is a curve pattern created with different finishes to visually connect the two entrances of the outlet. The curved ceiling paves a path for the feature rattan lamps to flow through illuminating the café while creating a play of height.

On an operational level, we studied the kitchen and staff flow with a planner to ensure workflow is efficient without compromising the dining experience. Careful placement of the dish-in/dish-out area to ensure minimal disruption to the patrons. The placement of the bakery at the main entrance facing the mall let delicious aromas of freshly baked pastries lure customers in to take a gander.

Picolli Lotti Retail Store Design

Piccoli Lotti in Subang Jaya is a delightful ice cream store that boasts a design as fresh and inviting as its flavors. The interior is a harmonious blend of modern minimalism and organic accents, creating an atmosphere that is both refreshing and comfortable. Central to its design is the use of natural light, which pours in through the large front window, illuminating the clean, white interior and the vibrant greenery that serves as a lively contrast.

The seating arrangement is simple yet elegant, with wooden furniture and subtle lighting that create a warm and welcoming space for patrons. The clever use of plant life, both inside and outside, adds a touch of nature and serenity. The store's facade is understated yet stylish, with the Piccoli Lotti branding prominently displayed, ensuring it stands out in the urban landscape.

The design of Piccoli Lotti is a testament to the brand's philosophy of simplicity and quality, offering a serene escape where guests can enjoy their ice cream in a space that feels both contemporary and cozy.

Malaysian Bistro Restaurant Design

The challenge:
Crack Pork is situated in Damansara Uptown; a bustling work and leisure hub with eateries of various forms. Aimed at selling their specialized pork-based offerings, how do we design to stand out and appeal to an array of customers throughout the day?

The Ground Up solution:
Red bricks, wire mesh, warm colors, and leather come together to invoke a barn aesthetic concept for this quaint Malaysian bistro. The key highlight of the restaurant’s personality comes from the motif of little pigs that adorn various elements of the place – be it on a tagline, or as wall lighting that illuminates the dining area.

The bistro is designed to undergo a day-to-night transformation daily: daytime being family-friendly and warm; while nighttime the restaurant becomes a neighborhood bar that would attract the happy hour crowd. All this is achieved via smart use of lighting to adjust the mood & ambiance. We’re proud to be part of this transformative dining experience!

HIIT2FIT Fitness Studio & Gym Design & Build

The challenge:

How do we balance the needs of a new gym (an expansion, multi-purpose spaces, retail, café, new class rooms) and yet still maintain the gym’s brand identity?

The Ground Up solution:

Upon stepping into HIIT2FIT, you’ll be greeted by two contrasting zones; clearly defined by the colors of white + black on opposing sides. Designed as Yin and Yang, these zones represent the workout classes offered which are “Lean” (spin class) and “Mean” (strength class). The brand’s teal colour however seamlessly channel throughout both spaces.

Guided by the desire to build a lifestyle inspired multi-purpose space, the main lounge at Lean hosts a retail space and café – that can easily be converted into an event space, while a functional workout space occupies the entrance of Mean. Trailing along the desire to be adaptive and transitional, the carpentry that is cleverly designed in the brand’s colours, span across the room as storage solutions, display shelves, and furniture.

As one last little tid-bit, we’re proud to direct your attention to the hanging lights above which proudly spells out H2F – a reminder of whose territory are you now in!

The challenge:

How do we address a dual frontage outlet that faces the main road on one side and a community garden on the other? How do we design the space as a canvas for their food (a strong request from the client) yet still embody a zen and minimalist theme throughout?

The Ground Up solution:

As Mei by Fat Spoon looked to expand into their 2^nd outlet, they wanted an elevated design that reflects their Japanese fusion comfort food, yet still channels the spirit of their first store. The ambient had to be family-friendly and welcoming to a range of customers throughout the day, hence the setting must exude comfort and familiarity.

Japanese minimalism was the key concept at play. We kept the place looking simple & clean with a focus given to providing a brightly lit environment, with plenty of neutral hues like light-colored timber and natural textures, seen on the terrazzo counter and pebble stones on the feature wall. The furniture sets are designed to accommodate an array of group settings. Brass elements and rounded edges were subtly added via feature wall lights and details on the counter to create visual interest. To tie the whole look together, greenery was introduced to bring zen into the space.

As the store has dual frontage, it is also divided into a separate single volume and double volume spaces. We positioned the kitchen at the single volume space which faces the main road, in order to give customers a more pleasant floor to ceiling height and they would also have a view of the garden.
