Jazzclub Garden
Architectural Scenography x Spatial Art
Situated in the center of Munich, the live-music and DJ club presents an immersive architectural journey defined by structural contrasts, raw materiality, and biophilic elements.
From the urban exterior, a minimalist signage displaying the venue's name emits a vibrant green glow from behind a screen of polished steel, establishing a sense of architectural mystery for passers-by. The threshold between the street and the interior is managed by a tall, swinging glass door that leads into the reception and cloakroom area, zoned by decorative porcelain pendant lights and walls enveloped in deeply rich, earthy tones to project a composed, welcoming atmosphere.
Immediately adjacent to the main entrance, the primary bar area materializes, crafted from natural stone and premium walnut wood. Suspended above, a monumental, upside-down bowl-like ceiling element anchors the spatial volume as a sculptural centerpiece. Concealed ambient lighting atop this feature projects an intense green luminescence, instantly capturing the eyes of visitors upon arrival.
Directly opposite, a site-specific indoor garden designed with a refined Japanese aesthetic introduces living bamboo, ornamental grasses, and textured volcanic stone into the club's fabric. For live performances, a movable stage is configured in front of this natural backdrop, while a rich red curtain can be drawn across the perimeter to optimize acoustics and visual focus. From this vantage point, the perspective opens toward a secondary, elongated bar counter composed of dark Spanish natural stone and crowned with a tactile walnut surface.
The backstage quarters are engineered with equal structural precision, comprising a dedicated musician's lounge, an artist's wardrobe with full-height mirrors, and private en-suite facilities. Low divans and custom seating are complemented by orange table lamps, precisely dimmed to cultivate an intimate, protective sanctuary for the artists.
