This project consisted of the
transformation of the existing basement in a Nightclub in a hotel. In a
lengthways distribution of industrial and neutral character, certain oversized
elements are incorporated in order to create a contrast between the polished
concrete surfaces and flood the space with atmospheric light.
On one side, the double white
wall which was bored into right along its length in order to lay all the air
conditioning, lighting systems and loud speakers, and , as a result, becomes a
huge decorative element radiating light and sound.
On the other side, there is a
continuous backlit bar made from synthetic material, offering great resistance
and strength.
The dynamic lighting, which
changes according to the rhythm of the music, is achieved by the random placing
of twelve lighting fixtures over the dance floor.
On the entry stairs, a potent
green colour is used to mark the transition from the garden to the underground
industrial space of the discotheque bar.
The space is not furnished. There
are only a few light stools, in the shape of cubes, measuring 40 centimetres on
each side and some low tables which allow total flexibility to the venue and
permit variation of the whole space depending on the requirements of the
evening’s entertainment.
