The brief was to create something that had never been done before, for a private celebration where scale was the point.

After our first meeting, we knew a standard venue wouldn't work. So we built one. In an open field, we designed and constructed the site from scratch: a terrace, five-metre decorative walls, a marquee with transparent roof, walls, and doors — one of the tallest ridge-frame structures available — fitted with bars, lounge zones, a large dance floor, and a stage. Eight dressing rooms, performers from around the world, four headliners, top bartenders and chefs. On day one, the décor mixed the refinement of crystal with deep blue velvet, styled with Mediterranean strelitzia and lush greenery. On day two, we completely redesigned the interior — kept only the chandeliers and stage format, replaced everything else with lemons, bright greens, and the smell of fresh pizza drifting through the space.
