In the heart of the city, where the lines between reality and dreams blur, a mere 70 square meters shisha lounge "Wonderland" defies its dimensions, offering a sensory experience that transcends over 100 square meters. It's a blend of American biker bar aesthetics and modern cool tones, reimagined into an industrial sci-fi, immersive space. Greeting visitors at the threshold, a large floor-to-ceiling mirror stretches the perception of space, conjuring a tunnel-like effect, mirroring a world turned on its head. In this realm, the lines between the real and the imagined merge, amplifying the bar's mystical aura. The design deconstructs a shisha pot, using metal and glass to frame the entire area. The shisha smoke contributes to the illusion, with light diffusion, visual reflections, and seemingly endless extensions, enhancing the sense of fantasy. The lighting is not just for illumination; it's a necessary spread of spatial energy and visual ascension.
The entrance, designed akin to a rabbit hole, ushers visitors into a realm of intrigue, sparking curiosity and embodying a quest for dreams and escape. A tri-colored rotating light gently heralds the bar's existence, acting as a portal to a miniature cosmos of fantasy. Here, amid the misty, cool-toned ambiance, art and narratives come alive in their most captivating manifestations. The quality of light sculpts the space, focusing on creating multi-layered sensory experiences. Through the fusion of color, material, and light, an immersive atmosphere emerges. Every corner is designed to evoke an emotional response, enhancing memory and connection to the space. Large wooden framed windows between different areas link the spaces while visually separating them. The transparency and reflection of light blur the boundaries of each area. Eco-friendly laminates from kraft paper for durability and health benefits. Extra air conditioning vents with a full heat exchanger for improved ventilation. Black eco-friendly paint for aesthetic and practical sustainability.
This design is more than aesthetics; it's a compact, immersive experience. It's a blend of practicality, fantasy, and sustainability, creating a space that's not just a bar, but a conversation starter and a retreat from the urban jungle.
