Takeen
The design of Takeen is inspired by its natural bamboo surroundings. This design integrates plant morphology, particularly bamboo, with its functional requirements to create a sustainable, organic enclave for respite from the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur. The biomimetic design emerged from the mathematical interpretation of leaf and branching patterns found in plants. As the entrance, bar, and kitchen walls slowly bifurcate and converge, light cascades down its sinuous form, producing an experience of bamboos intrinsic nature that is unique to Takeen.
Takeen Omakase Bar by ODE was identified as an outstanding example of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Takeen Omakase Bar received the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2023.
