WestLAND

Westland Bar&Bistro is located in”西門(Ximen)” (西 means “west”,門means “door”). It’s has been the west entrance of Taipei city since long time ago.Nowadays,lots of historic brick buildings are still kept in this very energetic area. It is imbued with a multicultural society. We use the element and imagery of local brick buildings to create a space with much more personality and unique ambience.



Pure bricks are the pivotal theme of the interior wall and they stretch and unify the whole space.The theme wall illuminated under lighting uncover the beauty of brickmaking.The abundant detailed composition of textures, layers of shaded and clay-colored cement paint is shown through the warm light.



The element of bricks is incorporated in the bar tops. Adopt inconsistent shades of dark bricks to stabilize the structure of the long bar. Brass-made side will change and weather with every visit and it inscribes the memorizes the trace of time which every customer leaves.Bar top’s surface is made of ink-colored AG (Anti Glare) glass which has the fine and smooth touch, reflecting the glimmer of the room and "bottoms up!"



The facade utilized the concept of Karesansui, which coral stones are carefully stacked conbined with the intertwined stainless grid.This minimalist courtyard has been incorporated in limited depth of only 40cm. No excess decorations, the element of naked-bricks and coral stones exhibit the natural and original looks, purity and honesty.



Similar to a courtyard which serves a purpose of helping people calm and collect themselves, we expect that when people go through this door and enter Westland, they are able to abandon those annoying issues and have a relaxing moment.



In which kind of mood would make people in pursuit of a buzzed state. In the westernmost side of Taipei city,the bistro serves as a place to feel at ease and linger.The space exhibits casual atmosphere and professional bartenders attend streams of customers.With every moonrise and moonset, the Westland Bar&Bistro becomes the brightest beacon.
