Nic Brunner's new design for the historic Cloudland bar opened this year. A retractable glass roof opens to the sky. A 14 meter high green wall has drip-fed plantings.
The front facade shows the four levels of the building. Kitsch beyond belief, the entire experience is dripping with neo-deco craziness.

I was very interested in why important sites are destroyed by government, and used Cloudland as a prime example in Australia. See "Cloudland Ballroom Brisbane: a treasure destroyed"
But until I read your post, I had no idea that a new Cloudland had been created. What made the designers go for kitschness and neo-deco craziness? Do you know whether the new Cloudland has been successful or not?
thanks for the link

Sorry, I don't know much about this project at all, Hels. Thanks for the tip!
