A compositional interior relates to how the designer applied two-dimensional and three-dimensional composition within the space. In this bar area, the main shapes that you see in the space are geometric in nature and are then related to three dimensional forms in the lighting and bar shapes. The ceiling is made of a rectangular and square pattern. There are also square-like shapes that line the backdrop of the bar. The three dimensional rectangular bar relates to square and rectangular two dimensional shapes. Also, there are circular bar seating and couches for the guests to sit on. The circular shapes can be seen three dimensionally in the lighting fixtures that hang above the bar area and the large column in the space.
The scale of the space is very much human; the only extremely large object is the column that is further back in the space. Although we don't know the exact height of the ceiling, we can assume that the lighting that hangs over the bar itself helps to lower what could be a high ceiling and makes the user not seem so small within the area. The proportion of the objects are very balanced; the bar chairs aren't overly huge and the couches in the space aren't over-stuffed or over-sized.
How would the space be different if the ceilings were much more monumental, yet the size of the furnishings stayed the same? If the designer had used more rectilinear elements, do you think the fluidity and softness of the space would be too affected?
