The pavilion of a disco bar in the X-site amusement park at the artificial lagoon adjacent to Venice.

The concept works with the already archetypal skyline of the city. The skyline has become the icon which evokes expectations. It is a subconscious promise of metropolis experiences, intensive social life, meetings and fun. It is the promise of a sophisticated world full of elegance, style, luxury, and decadence.
The stylised skyline is transformed to a seemingly complex composition rich in through view moments, overlapping, and multi-layering. In principle it forms a honeycomb structure unified at the level of +3.0m to

+6.0m to a grid overcoming the great span above the disco bar. The grid rests on reduced supports which leaves the streetscape freely blending with the disco bar. A system of towers protrudes from the grid. During the day the towers work as a sun-breaker. At nightfall it is irradiated by the disco lights. They become the spatial equaliser mirrored in the lagoon surface.
As regards its functions the pavilion is divided to two separate parts – restaurant/bar/disco and retail. The restaurant including the kitchen facility in

one-storeyed. The retail part consists of two independent units and the level of the first floor (+3.0m) is used as personnel service facility.
