The space is invaded with light and colour, creating a warm atmosphere distributed by two floors.
An underground floor contains all service and warehouse spaces, while the ground floor fluidly develops from a vestibule and cloakroom — separating interior and exterior spaces — into a large dance floor, anchored by two bars and other minor service spaces.
The bars feature a striking light installation, marking the limits of the space and illuminating the dance floor.
The environment is enveloped in a warm, red light, inserted in a series of "cuts" in the walls and ceiling. The different ceiling heights create a dynamic space, amplified by the harmonious light installation.
