Pretty Please is a unique and distinctive destination, where high-calibre design and attention to detail abounds. Combinations of rich textures and modern elements create a harmoniously paired aesthetic. Resplendent palettes of colours complement the club’s intricate details, creating a luxurious yet originally quirky vibe.

Offering unrivaled service the exquisitely styled and stunning multi-level space is guaranteed to impress whether it be for a corporate event, product launch, private party or intimate gathering.

The concept behind Pretty Please was to create a world of fantasy, a sinful opulence coupled with a unique private lounge experience. The club draws inspiration from New York and Las Vegas style super clubs perfectly tailored for a night of sensory indulgence.

In this project the designer has used colour, graphics and texture in the most innovative and striking way. Upon entering, the patron is engulfed in an enchanted forest, skilfully created by the bespoke vinyl graphic depicting brightly coloured, over scaled foliage and exotic flowers which wrap seamlessly from the floor, up the walls and across the ceiling.  Here the waterfall motif staircase cascades continuously in the mirrored panels abutting each step. Passing the lush velvet curtain at the top the stairs, visitors are drenched in the rich pink glow of the juxtaposed neon “Pretty Please” sign, emanating from its mirrored substrate.

A white Corian bar appears floating above a crisp, clean line of light, grounded by an impressive feature of curved up-lit bottles climbing into the double height void above the patrons.

The designer has successfully sculpted private enclaves on the mezzanine cocktail lounge above, here internal open rooms on raised platforms, form private booths with deep set velvet banquettes and upholstered wall panelling, each area differing in colour composition and texture.

The large first floor bar is custom made from Corian to create the tapered form, taking full advantage of the materials ability to create a seamless design element. The white bar sits proudly in the foreground of a black mirrored wall with an illuminated white recessed bottle shelf. Custom ruby red coloured silk carpet and polished stainless steel tables add to the rich tapestry of colour and texture used throughout the venue.

The owners of Pretty Please asked Pro Light & Sound to see how their existing sound system could be improved rather than purchasing a whole new system. With over 22 years of experience when it comes to designing audio and lighting systems for nightclubs, the team were confident that they were up to the challenge.

Jonathan Sinclair, the Systems Designer, was given the task of making the Nexo PS System “fuller and fatter” on the dancefloor whilst remaining within the strict audio restrictions imposed by council.

The existing system had all the right gear - Nexo is one of the best brands on the market - but needed the expertise and twelve years of experience that Jonathan had to really make the system “rock”.

“It’s like a completely new sound system in fact I can’t believe how great it sounds… everyone has commented,” says owner, Matt Smith.

“It’s all in the programming the DSP correctly,” revealed Jonathan. “It’s a bit of an art to find the right balance of compression and processing so that the system sounds right. Fortunately the XILICA processor allows you that ability - if you know what you’re doing.”.

Along with improving the sound on the dancefloor, more Nexo was added to the VIP and upper lounge bars. The total is now four Nexo PS15 V2 and two Nexo RS15 with the Xilica Processor 4080 and a NXAMP 4X4 Powered TDController for the dancefloor. The upper lounges have two Nexo PS8, two Nexo PS10 and two Nexo LS1200
driven by a couple of Camco amplifiers.

Martin MiniMACs, along with a JEM Magnum 850 fog machine and a K4 multicolour laser, were added to enhance the nightclub experience with a complete makeover in store for the popular venue.

“I’m not a fan of the trend over recent years to use statics or downlights as mood lighting for clubs,” comments lighting lesigner Stavros Hatzipantelis. “Nightclubs still need dynamic, colour changing and moving lights.”
