Basement Floor – The Jazz Hideaway
Basement Floor – Tokyo-Inspired Nightlife & Dining
The basement level offers a more intimate, atmospheric experience, shaped by its underground setting and inspired by Japan’s jazz scene and late-night culture. Drawing from the ambience of Tokyo’s jazz kissas and izakayas, the space blends music, food, and social interaction in a way that feels both private and personal, yet still part of a shared experience.
At its heart is a live performance area, surrounded by flexible social seating, some open, some semi-private, to encourage both conversation and quiet listening. A dedicated tasting room and dining area reflect the izakaya tradition of combining drinks, music, and shared meals in a casual, communal setting.
The design references the Japanese jazz age through the use of warm woods, lacquered finishes, and textured surfaces, paired with sleek modern materials like steel to create a subtle contrast. This fusion reflects Japan’s approach to modernity: minimalism enriched by material variety. The low ceiling height enhances the sense of intimacy, while an open plan allows the space to flow and feel connected.
Low ceilings and soft, dim red lighting evoke the atmosphere of a hidden underground speakeasy, enhancing the sense of discovery while creating an intimate, immersive setting for late night jazz and conversation.
