Customers arrive at the new bar and club at the 35 Hertford Street entrance. A sleek black entrance area, branded in gold, is set within a glazed gold fa?ade. Some parts of the glass are screened off for privacy, whilst others offer tantalising glimpses through to the interior.
Where the previous single door entrance created something of a wind tunnel once the door was opened, a new enclosed lobby area negates this and also allows for a much more dramatic entrance to the space itself, via a huge and theatrical 3 m-wide two-step stair (in textured silvery fabric-effect ceramic tiles) leading into the double-height main space. The same ceramic is used in a walkway strip, like a demarcated catwalk, through the centre of the bar and VIP areas, whilst the rest of the flooring is in a timber-effect porcelain tile, which gives the impression of timber but also crucially offers real durability.
