Space layout
The core function of the hookah bar is social interaction and leisure. Therefore, the key to the layout lies in being both open and enclosed. The entire space adopts a structure of axial guidance and regional division. The arched porch at the entrance and the neon installations form visual anchor points, guiding the circulation to extend inward.
At the center of the space is an arching bar with high barstools surrounding it. To either side there are this lawn-style lounge seating area, each separated from the others by floor to ceiling dark wood like with curtains. A combination of sofas, low coffee tables and armchairs give each area some degree of privacy and help reduce the feeling of confinement in the room, while the chairs also help to create an illusion of space as they have clear legs which break up visual planes.
There are no completely enclosed partitions in the space; instead, soft partitions are used to blur the boundaries of the areas. The leisure area where the projection wall is located and the bar counter area not only maintain visual connectivity but also distinguish functions through subtle differences in floor materials. Make the overall circulation smooth yet not cramped, suitable for various scenarios ranging from a solo nap to a group gathering.

Lighting: The straightforward top light was abandoned, and instead, layered lighting was used to create an atmosphere.

The artistic wall lamp in the corner not only echoes the smoky nature of the hookah but also breaks the dullness of the large area of dark color with local light.
Functionality: The snow-capped mountain images on the projection wall are not merely decorative but rather use cold-toned distant views to balance the warm light atmosphere of the space. The metal sculptures on the wall and the circular glass installations add an artistic sense of layering to the space on the basis of the soft partitions.
