CONCEPT

Working on the interior design project for the UNION nightclub and bar on the territory of the historic Trekhgornaya Manufactory, we sought to reinterpret the industrial heritage of the location through an unexpected cultural code—the aesthetics of an abandoned space. The brutal character of the old workshops set the primary tone for the spatial solution.

The interior is shaped as a multilayered, immersive environment, where raw concrete and historic brickwork peering through worn plaster coexist with futuristic details. A brutal reinforcement cage combined with polished stainless steel, which refracts light and creates deep optical effects, serves as a key expressive element of the transit zones and columns.

The space is divided into two conceptual halls united by the shared philosophy of a nocturnal community. In the first hall, attention is drawn by a glass bar counter with circular stucco molding above it and a checkered floor layout. The second hall features a large-scale dance floor with metal mesh installations, dynamic artistic lighting, and a textured concrete floor. The VIP zones are designed using soft, plastic furniture forms and textured accents that establish an upscale yet relaxed atmosphere.

Lighting choreography plays a special role in the project: cold neon rays and laser illumination contrast with subdued warm glow in the lounge zones, visually expanding the boundaries of the space and emphasizing the complex geometry of materials—metal, concrete, and glass.
We conceived this project as a contemporary statement at the intersection of Moscow’s industrial history and club culture. The interior does not strive to be a neutral background—it forms a bold, recognizable character where every element works to create an absolute immersive experience
