The Mirabilis Bar @ Mount Faber Peak and Dusk @ Mount Faber Peak is located at the pinnacle of Mount Faber Park. Our client – Mount Faber Leisure Pte Ltd tasked the design team to amplify the popularity of hilltop dining destination – Dusk Restaurant & Bar through the introduction adjective of ‘Iconic.’
Such initiation would come with a brand-new look and feel to the premise (with its stunning seafront and city view) for both the dining and cocktail experience. It is paramount to showcase an expanded professional kitchen with an elevated menu and develop an exclusive hilltop members-only Cigar Room.
We studied the space and innovatively carve from scratch 2 focal sections to spotlight dine and lounge – hence the birth of Dusk and The Mirabilis Bar. Leading from the project location nestled in the National Park of Mount Faber, our team took repeated nature study trips to bathe and identify the DNA of Mount Faber and discovering The Mirabilis Jalapa. The said species is a cluster of fragrant flowers that blooms in the afternoon (hence the four o’clock common name) and have a strong, sweet-smelling fragrance which remains open until the following morning. Blooming over an incredibly long season and they attract hummingbirds and butterflies. The ’Four O’clock’ flower also coincides with the opening time of the current restaurant & bar, which fitted perfectly.
With the core elements unlocked, we set upon ourselves to create two sculptural floral pieces (inspired by Mirabilis Jalapa) to serve as the beacon of destination dining. Through the entire space planning, we also established point to point connectivity of convenience with a canopy walkway to the washrooms, combined sheltered and radiant alfresco dining with a semi enclosed open bar and iconic outdoor bar for guests to frolic in different moods.
Entering to the new Mirabilis bar @ Mount Faber Peak is via the left stairways where the evenings Bloom and Cocktails Flow. A breathtaking 5-metre floral centrepieces takes the centre stage at the bar and when illuminated, it is set for the perfect Instagram moment and adding to the unique ambience. Indulge in floral-infused cocktails and delectable bar bites while basking in one of Singapore’s most stunning sunset views. Hidden at a corner is a private Cigar bar for customers to enjoy a more private enclosure and light entertainment.
