DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
A Journey Through Light , Reflection , and Asymmetry
- NORMAN COCKTAIL BAR -
Inspired by the bygone era of Normandy ’ s Romanesque architecture , Norman is Studiio Dangg ’ s interpretation of the modern-day bar , allowing for an entrancing experience . Norman is predominated through elements that subtly , but entrancingly capture light on their mildly reflective surfaces , weaving the theme of capturing oneself as a moving element . This aligns perfectly from outdoor to indoor , from the point one experiences the façade till the time they are seated indoors .
The massive fifteen feet high ceilings compliment a very tapered plan . The corners and asymmetry of the spatial extent were used such that the fitout was turned inwards in order to construct an encounter where every seat would get a view of the bar . Mimicking the polar night , the deep blue palette injects the intimacy that dictates the atmosphere
