MODU
MODU, the latest creation designed by BHO Interiors, draws its namesake and inspiration from the captivating city of Shanghai, famously known as “The City of Sins or Magic.” This moniker reflects the city’s mysterious allure, where tradition and modernity, indulgence and refinement all coexist in perfect harmony. With this rich cultural backdrop in mind, BHO Interiors set out to design a space that captures the essence of Shanghai’s magnetic energy and timeless elegance, transporting patrons to an exotic world of glamour, sophistication, and sensory delight.
At the heart of MODU is a sumptuous velvet lounge that beckons guests to settle in and lose themselves in the luxurious atmosphere. The lush, velvet seating invites comfort, while the deep, rich hues evoke a sense of opulence and intimacy. Dominating the space is a stunning jade-coloured island bar, a central focal point that exudes both vibrancy and elegance. The bar, with its glossy jade finish, not only serves as a hub for social interaction but also pays homage to the traditional green hues often seen in Shanghai’s architecture and interior design. Here, guests can sip on signature cocktails crafted with precision, immersing themselves in the sophisticated yet playful ambience.
Adding to the visual splendour is an open kitchen, artfully designed with decorative drawer features that subtly nod to the fine craftsmanship of Chinese medicine cabinets. This unique design choice allows the kitchen to be more than just a functional element—it becomes part of the overall aesthetic narrative, blending seamlessly with the sumptuous lounge and adding a layer of authenticity and craftsmanship to the space. Guests can enjoy the theatre of watching chefs work their culinary magic while appreciating the carefully considered details of the kitchen design.
MODU also features an exclusive private dining room, ideal for hosting intimate gatherings, board meetings, or special events. The private room offers an intimate escape from the bustling energy of the main lounge, providing an elegant setting for guests who seek privacy without sacrificing luxury. The room is fitted with plush, high-end furnishings and elegant finishes that create an atmosphere of refined exclusivity, making it the perfect space for both business and pleasure.
Perhaps one of the most innovative features introduced by BHO Interiors in MODU is the personal glass display locker. Inspired by the traditional Chinese medicine cabinets, these lockers allow patrons to store their personal items or favourite bottles in a secure, elegant display. This feature is a first in Perth, setting MODU apart from other venues and offering a personalised touch that enhances the guest experience. Each glass display locker is meticulously crafted, blending modern functionality with a nod to Chinese heritage, allowing patrons to feel both at home and part of something truly unique.
The interior is further brought to life with a range of art and design features that add to the space’s cultural and aesthetic richness. A beautifully hand-painted lady graces one of the walls, capturing the grace and beauty of Shanghai’s history while adding a sense of timeless elegance to the venue. Neon signage, a staple of Shanghai’s iconic nightlife, adds a modern twist to the decor, casting a playful glow that enhances the sense of magic and mystery within MODU. These neon elements are reminiscent of the bustling streets of Shanghai, where bright lights and vibrant energy keep the city alive well into the night.
Entertainment is also a key element of MODU, with a dedicated stage for live performances, ensuring that the space pulses with energy and life. Whether it’s a live band filling the room with music or DJ sets that keep the party going, the entertainment at MODU is designed to mirror the vibrant nightlife of Shanghai—the city that never sleeps. The venue stays open ‘til the early morning hours, inviting guests to settle in and enjoy an evening that stretches into the night, much like the dynamic, ever-awake spirit of Shanghai itself.
MODU is not just a place to dine or drink; it’s an experience that combines the indulgent glamour of Shanghai’s rich history with the cutting-edge trends of contemporary design. From the sumptuous velvet seating to the jade-colored bar, from the hand-painted artwork to the live entertainment stage, every detail at MODU is carefully crafted to evoke the sense of magic and mystery that defines both Shanghai and the venue itself.
So whether you’re stopping by for a cocktail, settling in for a lavish meal, or preparing for a night of music and revelry, MODU offers a transformative experience—one that seamlessly blends luxury, culture, and unforgettable moments. Step inside, and be prepared to be enchanted by the magic that is MODU.

Bryan from BHO was the perfect designer for the job. From the first meeting, he could quickly understand our passion and vision. Within days he was able to deliver a beautiful visual presentation for the build and I felt he brought our concept to life!
Throughout the build, his creativity, energy, empathy and attention to detail shone through. Unlike other designers I have dealt with, I could really feel that he holistically embraced our business like it was his own.
I am truly grateful for the amazing venue that he has delivered for us, and for helping us navigate a number of surprises along the way. I am looking forward to working with Bryan on our next exciting venue.
