ISH
Milk & Whisky
Brief
Ish owner was one of the first man running a disco club in China back in the 80’s. After 30 years in the business he decided to retire and approached us with the idea to create a small bar for himself, his friends and some of his loyal clients. A place where they could spend their free time day and night suitable for breakfast or late night drinks, the requirements were an elegant atmosphere with a little touch of glamour. The small space is divided in two floor with a large tall void. The first floor it’s arranged with a bright bar with a corner bottle display amplified by the use of mirror in the background, a seating area with books and magazines. The staircase to reach the second floor cut the duplex space with a diagonal tube visible from the outside. The second floor is divided in two areas. The vip area which can be closed partially to make the space more private and a seating area facing outside. We achieved a classy yet urban atmosphere by using grey concrete, black painted wooden bars and golden details.
