A wooden floor, bamboo canes and the iron structures are, together with the rough plastered surfaces, the main features of the project, that perfectly blends with both preexisting and newly planted vegetation such as banana trees, small palm trees and tropical bamboos.

A bright sign stretching along the floor towards the console space, situated within a small booth made out of iron and wooden materials. This lifted stage, where the guests are hosted, connects the main level with the higher one, where customised gazebos on a garden form the space’s relax areas.

These figures recall the primitive forms of representation, with an ironic and contemporary twist that perfectly matches the club’s sharp and geometrical outlook.
