Solutions
Interior Design Overhaul: The team introduced a new floor plan that optimized space utilization, including resizing elevated platforms and reconfiguring the VIP areas. This not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal but also improved the functionality of the space.

Advanced Lighting and Visual Systems: The installation of an LED linear light design, coupled with strategically placed RGB lighting, transformed the ambiance. The introduction of slim LED screens for dynamic visual displays added to the vibrant atmosphere.
Improved Bar Experience: The bar area was redesigned with a standardized counter height, modern materials, and an integrated LED screen for bottle displays, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.
