Commissioned by restaurateurs Daniel Höferlin und Roland Mary, Karhard has been working on the conversion of the former Trader Vics venue in the basement of the Hilton hotel on Gendarmenmarkt into a modern club with its corresponding bars, lounges, dance floor and live music facilities. The existing premises have been completely stripped down to the underlying structure to allow the acoustics to be redesigned from scratch. The entire club has been fitted with non-weight-bearing dividing walls and heavyweight brickwork on supporting pillars designed to provide the premises with unique visual features. At the heart of the club is its centrally located stage, which divides the premises into, respectively, a nightclub area with dance floor and a bar area with live music. The furnishings are a combination of used items, pieces by contemporary designers, in-house designs by Karhard and anonymous “no-name” products.
