The blending of boundaries of music, food and atmosphere. Encouraging new forms of engagement with the community and reaching out to those who seek connection.

A journey through a new ‘laneway’ to your destination of ‘Lane23’. The interiors are a nod to the history of music and the blend of cultures that enrich those who welcome it while blurring the boundaries between the past and the present.

The interplay of the tenancies’ volumes and the use of materials balances the feel of grandeur with welcoming moments as if arriving into a nostalgic and comforting surrounding.

The laneway concept creates multiple thresholds that you traverse as you move from the bustling street of KL to being intrigued by the entry to Lane23 and taking a step inside to cure your curiosity.

Hidden spaces and moments of joy are experienced as you step away from the main street and explore zones beyond major arterial that connects through the main axis of the basement spaces.

The textures, the lighting, the scent draw you in closer, you get glimpses of the restaurant as you pass, but the staircase connects you with a view to the energy and activity below. The layering of textures and materials as you transition through the areas creates touch points on your journey while also creating areas of intrigue as you move through the space.
