Lane 23, Malaysia.
The conversation pit at Lane 23 evolved through a process of sketches, material exploration and spatial studies, with a focus on creating an intimate yet immersive social experience.
The layering of textures, materials and lighting draws visitors deeper into the space, while the staircase opens up views towards the activity below. Together, these elements create a sequence of touch points and changing perspectives, encouraging curiosity as you move through Lane 23.
From concept to spatial experience, this is the thinking behind the design.
