Rejuvenating Redevelopment

A fundamental part of this colossal project has been the removal of thousands of square feet of concrete ramps, replacing them with more efficient and modern escalators.

The Superdome has now reclaimed substantial square footage to create more open spaces to further enhance the experience for fans and visitors.

With the open space, the build-out of luxury hospitality suites was completed to provide patrons with the best in entertainment and amenities for all events. This development includes the 4000-square-foot Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club featuring unique Sculptform timber Click-on Battens which are the ideal backdrop for a VIP event space of this scale.

Creative Curvature

The Spotted Gum timber battens create a warm and inviting atmosphere and evoke a sense of luxury and sophistication.

The slimline timber feature wall and our unique dome profiling of the battens complements the curved ceiling, adding texture, dimension, and visual interest to the design, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the space.

Integrated Illumination

The Club’s sophisticated lighting plan complements the warmth, texture, and grain of the battens, drawing attention to architectural details and adding visual interest to the space. Washer lighting illuminates onto the timber Click-on Battens clad wall, highlighting the natural beauty of the Spotted Gum timber. Integrated lighting adds to the overall ambience of the space.

Lighting also plays a crucial role in enhancing the tone and functionality of the space. Sculptform Click-on Screens are a prominent feature of the entrance into the Club and allow more light into the entrance, providing wayfinding throughout the event space.
