Happy Chinese New Year from all at Zebra!

Shake Shack Sunway opens its doors as the second location in Malaysia! The Sunway Pyramid is inspired by Egyptian architecture, featuring a lion sculpture, and two distinctive domes—the Orange and Blue Atriums—symbolizing the Great Nile River. By integrating these elements, the concept delves into the profound connection between the Nile’s life-giving waters and the rich landscapes it nourishes, reflecting the harmony between nature and civilization. Drawing inspiration from the Nile River, the design incorporates flowing, curvilinear forms that mirror the river’s winding path and the rich, layered landscapes along its banks. These elements were applied to the ceiling throughout the space, capturing the fluidity and life-giving essence of the Nile, and celebrating its crucial role in shaping the land and nurturing life.
