INSIGHT ARCHITECTURE SPOTLIGHT
Crazy Pianos Club
Te reform of the well-known Crazy Pianos music club in Den Haag, Netherlands, was the beginning of a new stage in its history.
As part of an occasional feature examining inspirational architectural design projects, both within and outside gaming realms, G3 explores the latest commercial design project from Barcelona-based architects El Equipo Creativo.
Crazy Pianos is undoubtedly a different club. Instead of a DJ, two red pianos entertain dinner and drinks, until they get the public dancing around them.
The reform of the well-known Crazy Pianos music club was the beginning of a new stage in its history. The new design should push their new commercial strategy: aiming for a more demanding audience from a wider age range without losing the essence of the original project.

The layout is organised by clearly differentiated areas surrounding the focus point of the room: the pianos on a small stage. Each area is designed as a new scenography within this film, starting from the Ticket Carrousel to the Art Gallery to the VIP Cages.
More intimate or social, more comfortable or active, each client can find their ideal space according to the mood of their night.
Slightly elevated platforms ensure that all areas can see the stage, while their organic shapes invite customers to move and socialise. As the night moves forward, the tables around the pianos disappear making this area a lively dance floor.
The architects see the bars as two different energy poles that balance the pianos. With a compelling and
