Soju Bar Sot

Bar Sot is a celebration of Korean identity reimagined in a high-end, contemporary Bangkok context.

Context

BLUECHIP has been fortunate to cultivate — and be cultivated by — an exceptional client. A client who trusted our design leadership and allowed bold ideas to flourish. 


Operating under our Standard Contract framework, risk was minimised and creative potential fully unlocked. We set the budget and the programme first — these become the boundaries of possibility. 


Once the constraints are clear, design can push to its highest expression.

Design Approach

Bar Sot is inspired by the craft of organic soju, distilled from specialty rice and aged in onggi — traditional clay vessels hand-made through ancient techniques, where breathability and terroir shape the final spirit. 


This deep material culture informs the entire architectural narrative: 

  • Weight and permanence — solid timbers, leather, stone and cast metal 

  • Threshold and procession — a grand entry signalling exclusivity and transformation

  • Masculine strength — studded door panels, post-and-beam forms, oversized ironmongery 

  • Feminine counterbalance — pastel ceramics, refined crockery, crafted details 

  • Yin and Yang interplay — colour, scale, and material dualities in balance 

  • Curation of ritual — lead-crystal decanters displaying infused soju in vivid chroma 

“Here, everything feels intentional — weighty, important, and built to last.” 


High woodgrain expression, Korean motif patterns, and sculptural ceramics combine to keep cultural authenticity present, never pastiche. 


Floor levels are manipulated to shroud the sunken bar in intimacy — an arena for storytelling, tasting, and ceremony. Air, fire, pressure — the alchemy of transformation.
