Approach
For this large entertainment venue, we wanted to show continuity of materials from exterior to interior. Because of its large footprint, varying scale of materials also had to be taken into account. We wanted to focus on careful design of individual spaces that seamlessly transitioned into others with fun, yet comfortable colors and durable materials that made this venue feel cozy despite the large scale.
Outcome
A welcoming main entrance vestibule with wood paneled millwork taken from exterior facade materiality becomes the main hub of this game and entertainment venue. The main corridor travels diagonally across the building, opening up into 3 main programmatic areas delineated by changes in floor materials: a main dining and bar area laid out in large format porcelain tile, a larger game are in custom printed carpet, and a bowling lounge area in wood plank floors. The main bar transitions into bar heigh seating with a large window that opens out onto the exterior patio complete with a communal fireplace. Walls are covered in custom bowling ball and pin art installations and light fixtures are cohesively tied together throughout all spaces. Through muted colors and natural materials, we aimed to design an elevated gaming venue that carefully contrasts with its fun and lively program.
