Revolution By Night

I propose to design and make a nightclub, suitable as a day club that is influenced by surrealist art.

The club will have two stories, with two staircases running up the sides of the club. There should be a bar and a DJ both upstairs and downstairs.

The upstairs area shall have a stronger focus on dancing with a large open space for movement. The walls should be projected with images similar to the inside of a kaleidoscope, with a mirrored roof to reflect the pattern. A mirrored floor with a slight texture may work well also to reflect pattern colours, without being inappropriate to the user. Upstairs there should be space allocated (towards the front of the club) for decking, so that people can get fresh air if they like. The deck should overlook the street and people below.

The upstairs area should provide access to the toilets with a mirrored maze hallway to the entry. It should have many small laser lights to creating an interesting light effect, as similar to the mirror maze at Infinity on the Gold Coast (http://www.infinitygc.com.au/about-infinity.html).

There could potentially be large severed arms as chairs, so that people can sit around the dance floor and watch.

Fractured wall patterns, walls with boils or walls with groping hands could work on or around the bar. If possible it may be interesting to include an area similar to an Andy Warhol installation with large, silver helium sacks floating around. However, these could probably be damaged easily.

The downstairs area should have a stronger focus on relaxing and hanging out with friends and new people. There should be a large amount of space for cushions (as seats) that are oversized, round eyeballs.

The entry should be downstairs, with an interesting theme to get people’s attention. I wouldn’t mind having something similar to a persons insides, such as a rib cage or intestines to make up the service desk.
