RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Zoning in club's is a very important aspect. Club's though call for an undivided space still need to have specific seating areas and dance areas. We conducted an in depth study of clubs around the city to understand such zoning and arrived at the zoning pattern of keeping the central dance floor flanked by three private dining areas, A vault shaped DJ counter and the Bar.
CHALLENGE: creating a central dance floor and pushing all the functions around was the critical design challenge in this layout which had to revolve around the main function of the club that is the energy of music to dance on. A club runs for its music and makes most revenue form it's bar counter that needs to be sufficiently long visible and approachable from all the areas. creating such layout was the main creative challenge in this project.
