ASTA Club & Lounge
Project Description
The project brief called for a complete new interior of an existing night club with a more holistic conceptual design that would become Asta Club and Lounge. The intention of the client was to create a sophisticated and stylish club with a lounge component and dance floor. The target clientele was 25+, with the venue to be used for a variety of music genres including dance, funk, soul, disco and house as well as cater for large media launching events The product selected for use in this project was the ACRYLITE® DP-9 acrylic sheet. These are lit internally with colored gels over a dimmable flourescent ballast set in natural cedar timber slats of varying depths and laid in a horizontal configuration. [More information ...]
The club is located in the basement of a building on Victoria Street East and is completely subterranean. Although it is an exceptionally large space, it lacked intimacy and became claustrophobic once full. The realised solution was to break the space into a variety of functional undefined multi- purpose lounges, allowing for the club to be opened in stages until capacity is reached. These areas cater to an array of needs, moods and number of guests. This is wholly achieved through the use of illuminated jointed panels . The partitions are between private elevated intimate lounge spaces. The illuminated dividing units create a quiet zone away from the dance floor, double as a bar leaner and provide visual and physical barriers. They are more than robust enough to take on the rigours of club life. With a strict budget the acrylic was the more affordable option to glass and just as effective. The ability to drill and cut on site made ACRYLITE® DP-9 our first choice. The clients are very happy withy their new look and patronage is at full capacity most nights.
