Top 10 Pet Instagram-worthy Spots in The Square by Jaya One

Capture lasting memories with your pets by hunting down these Instagrammable pet-friendly spots!

Every space has beauty, but not everyone sees it. The Square, at first sight, gives off a strong industrial vibe with a stylish-modern look, but there is a lot more to it than meets the eye! Let us walk you through the many hidden, unnoticed gems around the space to step up your pet’s Instagram game!

1. Staircase in The Square

The straight wooden staircase can be easily spotted at The Square’s Ground Floor right beside Three Stooges. Going up will lead people to Common Ground’s First Floor as well as where other small businesses situate. Its structure owns an elaborate design with a clever plantation system, where small home garden planters are placed along the walkway for an added aesthetic theme — yet fitting in line with The Square’s ‘urban farming’ initiative to support home growers to market their products to a larger audience.

2. NYC-feel gunmetal grey concrete stairway

This architectural gem is not to be missed as you move around the staircase. Located just beside Starbucks, this is a great example of how concrete is such a great addition to any space. Specifically in industrial design, recent trends have explored the aesthetic potential of this material. This humbling corner evokes a polished yet down-to-earth impression with a touch of plant life over the rich concrete tone, so get your pets to pose for an elegant look and nail the perfect shot!

3. Potteresque brick wall behind Three Stooges

Moving over to Three Stooges you will find this masonry red brick wall resembling Platform 9 3/4! This spot holds the secret entrance to the magical wizarding world of Harry Potter. Just imagine hearing the sound of the Hogwarts Express, have a candid shot of waiting to board the train with your loving furball. Just get your pet ready to sit there and soak it all up!

4. Link bridge from PJLA to The School

With a cute doghouse setting the background, the link bridge scores high as the most well-photographed spot at Level 1. With a space that delivers natural light and air, owners can create a relaxing natural shot of their pets taking a breather. The neutral color of the surrounding combined with its organic ventilation helps achieve a comfortable and natural atmosphere that pets could call home. It’s great for some close-up on your dog’s expression!

5. Leafy arch from The School to CIMB Bank

Stroll pass The School’s main entrance towards your left and you will find these arches filled with trailing plants. The criss-cross black metal frames along the stairway fit perfectly with its earthy fine-grained borders that incite a dynamic urban attribute. Added with its twining plant, the spot lets enough natural light pass-through leading to open and friendly photography styles. Supported with some strong winds, it is a true photo opportunity to capture your pets under beautiful lighting.

6. Little “Spanish Steps” facing Jalan Universiti

Your pet does not need to travel overseas to get the perfect Spanish Steps shot, because we have something close! A growing trend for greenery can bring staircases to life, the same goes for The Square’s main steps towards Common Ground with an iconic border of palm trees. Get some peanut butter on your pet’s nose and you could recreate this shot easily. One thing about peanut butter is that it doesn’t come off in one go. This allows you to have a decent amount of time to capture your pet’s best moment licking on the same spot!

7. Lush surroundings at SMORES

A chilled out environment welcomes you and your furkids at SMORES. With a lush surrounding, you will easily find this restaurant and bar right opposite Starbucks! Fabricating a luxurious garden mood, dogs will love that outdoorsy representation to arouse both their mental and physical stimulation. Remember to get a photo of their happy faces as you dine in! More botanical inspiration unfolds across the dining tables, where enormous fronds make up a lively setting for your stress-free indulgence on their signature dishes.

8. Illuminated HOP Beer Bar facade

Glowing neon signs are always a great attraction for pictures. The large luxe sofa right in front of the entrance will show how your pet rules the bar like a boss! The entrance — with its quality leather furniture — incorporates a slick modern dining ambiance with an intriguing hipster concept. Besides, the wooden pallets tucked at the corner stand as a unique piece of furniture perfect for your canine to strike an intimate yet gritty pose. With some bottles on the bar tables, you could boost the mood of your pet photography in the fluorescent scene.

9. Tommy Thongchai alfresco

Thai gastro bar Tommy Thongchai features some cool neon art lights that transformed their space into a fun-filled restaurant packed with awesomeness. Added with the elegance of rattan chairs, the restaurant’s alfresco area is lifted with extra warmth and comfort for a relaxing shot! The contemporary and earthy aesthetic favor intimate pictures of owners and their pets, so why not capture them together?

10. Stylish interiors at Common Ground

The light wooden staircase paired with a touch of greenery invokes a beauty of nature within Common Ground. As a co-working workplace, the adoption of a lively interior does not only improve business productivity but also boosts creativity. Placing animals in human situations make for great pet photography. The modern art and atmospheric lighting at each corner highlight a spacious and cool theme, so take a break on your work and take some photos of your pets chilling!

BONUS: The Square’s Level 1

The Square’s Level 1 is a true celebration of craftsmanship — symbolic and proud. The building inspires an industrial chic that exemplifies these principles with grace and coolness. Along the spacious hallway, you will find some eye-catching corrugated artwork, which induces a fashionable, unique and contemporary character to it. In addition, the clear glass installation with shades of yellow light illumination along the shop lots enhances the concrete floor with a gunmetal grey coating. This spot gives pets and their owners the opportunity to capture some witty, out-of-the-box pose!
