Teeq

This restaurant, Teeq, was planned in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, at the 8th floor roof parking space of the existing shopping center named as lot 10 which greets the 20th anniversary. I felt fortunate as I was able to participate and design for the master plan which included a club, theater, restaurant and the place of the courtyard.

I chose the location to match with the scenery even that would not be the great scenery for the view. By the result, I concentrated more at the ceiling design because that was the only part that not surrounded by the restaurant with the glass keeping scenery.

Nevertheless, the ceiling design that I aimed was praised by lot of visitors where being without either disturbance, beautiful or too showy. However, the execution was repeated from trial due to various errors occurred as I wanted to make it an impressive entrance welcomes guests to an avant-garde decoration with undulating waves of wooden ribs encircling the ceiling. I think it has taken me around 2 months for the trial manufacture. After all, I hung the strip of the wood board with wire directly and attached the LED to the board and irradiated LED take the base right.
