1st Draft of your text

What was once known as the Vitra Museum has now been converted into a nightclub called the V-Bar. Much of the existing Vitra is still apparent within the new design. I had to expand floor areas to accommodate for more people to fit into the club. This included two coloured themed bars – Red Bar and Blue Bar. Also among the amendments were amenities, dance floor, upstairs area with a void looking back down to the dance area and red bar.

Both bars provide and appropriate seating area. I kept the existing cross skylight for my design. This venue is situated in a built up environment which allows viewers to see the other skyscrapers from inside on the dance floor area. This also allows for natural sunlight to come in during the day as the venue doesn’t have any windows at all. The blue bar has a similar feature. I placed another skylight there to give a lighting effect during the day and at night again you can see the skyscrapers surrounding the venue.

The location of this venue is quite secluded. Walking through the streets passing motels, arcades and other buildings you find yourself starring down an alley way. Walk through this alley between two buildings and you see the entrance to the venue. This completely hides the exterior view of the complex. The only view where you can achieve this is from an Aerial point of view.

Some of the textures I have used are rich in colour and others are easy on the eye. This was achieved by using more natural materials. I didn't want to go overboard with colours. I tried keeping things simple but yet effective.

The venue operates as a bar during the day offering drinks only. With more furniture placed out including tables and chairs and recreational activities such as darts and pool tables. The bar also has a performance stage which is used for musicians and other live performers.

During the night this is where the DJ set up their equipment and pump their tunes throughout the venue. This stuff is then stored away in a lock up room for when the bar then turns into a nightclub. Thus giving more floor area to allow for the dance area. The venue also has another interesting feature incorporated into it. The laser system is not only just for the dance floor. But the entire venue. So you can be at the bar or in the toilets or anywhere inside the venue and the lights will keep flashing non-stop. This only happens every so often, if this happened all the time this will make most visitors feel nauseated and cause them to be sick perhaps.
