Bar and Club Design 101

Today, the nightclub business is a lot more competitive, especially in such top party cities as Manhattan, Las Vegas and Miami. In these sophisticated markets, a club's concept and design play a crucial role in its success.
"A lot of the forward-thinking trends have to do with technology and lighting and environment," Goff, club owner, says.
LED lights, for example, allow designers to create precise and versatile displays. It's possible to call for something as specific as one square inch of red light next to one square inch of purple light. Other possibilities include projecting film through the lights or using them to create images.

Lighting design plays an extremely important factor in the creation of a bar/club scene.

The lighting effects create a romantic feeling, which contributes to the comfort of the space. 



Spirito – Martini is the name of the old historical Anglican church in Brussels, Belgium that radically transformed into artistic Gothic bar and club by Puresang Team for Franseco Ravo.
  
Gothic Style can be so dramatic!!  Very beautiful!

 Designers generally recommend avoiding steps in a club, along with any flooring material changes that might cause intoxicated patrons to trip in low-light conditions. Materials also need to be durable.
Ultimately, a successful club design helps club owners make money: It creates an environment where people want to stay longer and keeps them coming back!

I'll CHEERS to that! :)
