Kazuwa Malvar Manila Bar
KAZUWA Bar Beijing store embraces the Japanese aesthetic of "Wa-Kei-Sei-Jaku" (Harmony, Respect, Purity, Tranquility), blending traditional elements with modern design language to create a multi-level social space within 85㎡ that balances intimacy and openness.
Spatial Narrative & Design Highlights: The exterior features a minimalist design with pure white façade contrasting against dark window frames. The KAZUWA logo is presented in slender typography, with "Coffee&Bar" indicating the dual business concept. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows break the boundary between inside and outside, introducing natural light while extending the warm interior atmosphere to the streetscape. The entrance landscaping with greenery and seating areas adds a touch of nature to the urban corner.
The interior space achieves a natural transition between coffee and bar areas through clever circulation planning. The entrance corridor features a distinctive design where dark walls contrast with orange transparent panels, creating a strong visual impact. Grey stone paving with black gravel evokes the Zen atmosphere of dry landscape gardens. The calligraphic "一和" artwork and black-and-white painting at the corridor end serve as cultural focal points, guiding guests into a deeper experiential journey.
The main area employs warm tones, with deep brown curved sofas and marble coffee tables creating a cozy conversation space. The curved bar counter breaks rigid spatial constraints, while the back bar display demonstrates professional quality. A carefully designed lighting system combines indirect and accent lighting to create suitable atmosphere variations throughout the day.
Materials & Details: The design team selected natural materials: stone flooring, wooden furniture, and fabric sofas, conveying the Japanese appreciation for natural beauty through material textures. The use of orange transparent panels with blue patterns injects contemporary artistic elements, creating a dialogue between tradition and modernity.
Design Value: KAZUWA Bar achieves seamless transformation from daytime café to evening bar through precise spatial zoning and atmosphere creation. The design not only enhances brand recognition but also creates a transitional space from urban bustle to inner tranquility for guests.
