Project : Bukit .

Designed by @office_313

Status : unbuilt

Concept:

Bukit is an up and coming burger joint located in Kuwait City . The project’s design is mainly inspired from the brand’s eccentric branding . The design attempts to blur the lines between reality and fantasy . Through the use of holographic and reflective materials, optical and sensory illusions emerge throughout the small and compact space. Through the use of mirrors and louvers, a sense of blissful confusion emerges .

The project’s essence lies in designing a space that would encapsulate Bukit’s eccentric branding whilst also being trendy and hip amongst the youth .The project acts as a response to the relatively small project footprint and the eccentric brand identity .

By using reflective steel louvers and holographic lit up ceiling as main elements, this allowed us to utilize the longitudinal space and provide a playful yet immersive experience. By doing so, this results in one seamless uninterrupted space whereby both users and patrons can enjoy the playful Bukit experience.

The project articulates two main areas: kitchen and dine in area . The kitchen and dining area are delineated by a series of holographic louvers . The main seating area is separated into a main dine in area and bar seating . A designated take- out only area is located near the kitchen.

The project’s material palette consists of stainless steel, iridescent steel and mirrors. The material palette showcases the full color spectrum and various gradients throughout the day.
