Perched atop OUE Bayfront, VUE was designed to maximise the potential of its location but chil interior design also paid close attention to its finer details.

Unexpected Views
Opened in October last year, VUE takes its name from the French word for “view”, highlighting the restaurant’s strategic location in the penthouse of OUE Bayfront in Collyer Quay.

There, diners can feast their eyes on the stunning views of Marina Bay, while indulging in an eclectic fusion of flavours from East and West.

CHIL Interior Design, a hospitality studio of B+H Architects, was appointed for this project, with Lian Miew Ching as the lead designer and Dr. Stéphane Lasserre, design principal of B+H Architects, overseeing it.

Previously the site for the now-defunct restaurant ME@OUE, VUE’s design is built around the guest experience.

CREATING WONDERFUL MEMORIES

A wine collection of over 1,000 specially curated bottles deserves to be on display. No surprise then that the client requested for its fridge to be installed at the entrance.

Despite its narrow width and sloping ground, Lian saw an opportunity to create a sequence of contrasting experiences starting from the guest’s arrival.

As they come out of the private lift and proceed into the restaurant, a decompression space is made possible with a sloping path graduating upwards, while being met by the sight of orderly wine bottles in the tall transparent fridge left of the corridor.

Exiting it, guests immediately enter a double-volume area, experiencing heightened senses with the sudden compression space.

The cathedral-inspired arched ceiling, clad with oxidised copper sheets, spans the entire length of the 60-seat main dining hall, adding to the theatrical experience.
