The Katarzyna Group has expanded their prolific and undoubtedly impressive profile of Brisbane’s best entertainment venues – Press Club, Family nightclub, Empire Hotel and Birdee Num Num – to include their newest venue 'Cloudland', the brainchild of Managing Director Raphael Bickle.
Spanning four levels, with a retractable glass roof that opens with the touch of a button, Cloudland is designed to be a veritable ‘urban oasis’. Although the idea of an open-air venue is far from new, Cloudland couldn’t be further removed from your average beer garden. Springing from designer Nic Brunner’s vivid imagination, Cloudland is more like a film set for a futuristic Garden of Eden, operating as an architecturally brave bar, restaurant and function space. Patrons are visually stunned by: 5,000 plants climbing and sprawling over a 14 metre interior wall; a 10 metre waterfall; imaginative pieces like a solid hand carved ‘China white’ marble bar; and a glass bar made from 19,000 glass balls threaded by hand.
With a decidedly curvaceous and timeless yet modern feel emanating throughout the four levels, Cloudland effortlessly transcends eras, clichés and standard hospitality architectural guidelines. It has been transformed from what was essentially a spare lot, into a fantastical bar and restaurant, the likes of which has never been seen before in Brisbane.
