TAZMANIA BALLROOM - Hong Kong 1.12.2010

Design Research Studio was invited to create a slick new interior for Tazmania Ballroom, an exclusive pool bar in Central district, Hong Kong.

Inspiration is drawn from traditional British games room and is reflected in elements such as the plaster book-lined feature wall and plush upholstery. These traditional items are contrasted with highly contemporary features such as a blue chalk greeting station and an innovative cue storage case.

The wall finishes play with geometry that is integrated with the rough concrete of the building: a faceted mirror corridor leads from the street into a sharp rock cavern; whilst metals highlight the focus areas of Tazmania Ballroom in the DJ booth, bar and pool tables.
