Janus is a whisky and cocktail bar with a social aspect. The client had two demands: one was that the audience should not interpret this place according to the literal meaning of Janus or their traditional concepts, and the other was that the audience should have more than two different spatial experiences in this place. These different spatial experiences combine as an integral whole rather than as independent ones. According to the project, the first floor is the supporting space and the second floor is the main venue.

0103 Interior Design Studio is not a traditional interior design team, but a group of young and promising designers who consider design from the perspective of philosophy. We hope that underpinned by our understanding of contemporary art and unique viewpoints, we can interpret and disseminate our values through our design language, which can be achieved by learning politics, religions as well as culture essences of different regions, such as customs, traditional operas, dramas, paintings and calligraphies.

Janus is a whisky and cocktail bar with a social aspect. According to the operational function of the project, the first floor is the supporting space and the second floor is the main venue. The first floor is loose, open, relaxed which serves coffee. The seating is relatively spacious. Bar counter and loose seating area on the second floor is different, more compact but not crowded. The sense of distance between people familiar or unfamiliar is more subtle. We hope more conversation and stories can happen there.
