Base Camp: Soul’s Assembly
The Higher Ground: Base Camp is a soulful gathering spot in Taipei’s Xinyi District. Inspired by twilight and auroras, its layered interior uses programmable lighting, stainless steel and birch timber to evoke a sense of movement and energy. At its heart, a glowing DJ “campfire” invites connection - setting the stage for future F&B journeys to higher ground
Achieving the ethereal glow of The Higher Ground: Base Camp required careful craft and detailing. Precision-engineered perforated and corrugated stainless steel panels were layered to catch and diffuse programmable LED light, creating an aurora-like shimmer.
Balancing reflectivity, translucency, and rhythm across surfaces demanded rigorous prototyping-transforming raw materials into a terrain alive with light, movement, and atmospheric depth.
The Higher Ground: Base Camp has captivated Xinyi’s vibrant crowd with its immersive, otherwordly glow. Guest step into a shifting terrain of light and reflection-where aurora-inspired hues dance across steel surfaces and a glowing DJ “campfire” draws people together.
More than a bar, it’s become a communal beacon-an energizing, inclusive experience deeply resonating with Taipei’s nightscape.
