finalist lounge, nightclub + bar Not Club Guangzhou, China Republican Metropolis Architecture looked to outer space when crafting this Guangzhou, China hotspot. Brought to life with ruby red lighting, the playfully named Not Club is futuristic with a sensory-driven design reminiscent of a spaceship, including soaring vinyl record-inspired flying saucers that act as visual statements connecting the different spaces within the larger club area. The motif is heightened by a sculptural staircase that leads to the dance floor, where overlapping illuminated saucers light up to the music's beat for a dramatic effect. 138 June 2019 hospitalitydesign.com Photos by JACK QIN Owner Xinhua Wu Operator Not Club Architecture and Interior Design Firm Republican Metropolis Architecture, Guangzhou, Chinahttp://www.hospitalitydesign.com
