La Mere (Train Beach Club) a mixed-use facility. The repurposed beach club has been converted into four separate, distinctively related spaces with unique identities. A professional gym, restaurant, café-bar and nightclub. The challenge was to keep the space raw and industrial, showcasing and following the inherent existing architecture yet pushing the boundaries of detail. The choice of materials was based on the client brief (industrial chic), the challenge was to relate four spaces that typically do not mix. In this case the design follows the use of the same core material throughout. With design elements, ques and details simply modified with texture and material. A continued theme of floating light details is implemented by use of LED details from delta lights. Following the theme of industrial chic, a striking yellow inverted staircase made from raw steel and glass takes centre stage, which cocoons you to the mezzanine VIP section. The lounge is a mixture of raw exposed beams and ducting. The MEP is not concealed but featured. The industrial space is softened by an internal green wall and olive trees. All washed with delicate yet robust lighting features both architectural and decorative.
