Welcome to Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq, where old fun comes to life with a dazzling kaleidoscope of cocktails, arcade games, dodgem cars, and ticket games. This unique bar and bowling club offers an unforgettable experience for all ages.

The design objective for this extraordinary space was to prioritise durability, comfort, and customer satisfaction. With the use of impact-resistant materials and low-maintenance equipment, the atmosphere is both inviting and engaging, encouraging social interaction and enjoyable experiences.

The vibrant and energetic ambience incorporates playful colours, complemented by a captivating carousel at the centre of the venue. This whimsical centrepiece, crafted from thousands of meticulously assembled pieces, including MDF, Perspex, timber, steel, and mirrors, adds a touch of amusement park and circus charm.

Functionality was a key consideration in the design process. The train booth seating, featuring CNC-cut pieces painted in various colours and adorned with custom-printed fabric cushions, provides both comfort and visual appeal. Upon entering, the reception bench finished with a striking 2-pack spray paint in hot lip gloss creates a bold impact. The bar area includes tier shelving with built-in light boxes, illuminating the bottles and enhancing the overall atmosphere.

To withstand high visitor traffic and ensure easy maintenance, the painted surfaces have been finished with a patina colour, allowing for quick touch-ups as needed. The necessary touch-up paints and formulas are provided to maintain the components' pristine appearance.

Architectural features, such as arches and arched wall recesses, have been skillfully created using chipboard and bendi ply, seamlessly integrating within the overall design. A custom-bent timber mould, painted in gold, adds an elegant touch to these elements.

Inspired by the enchanting lighting of amusement park merry-go-rounds, small lights have been installed over the bulkheads. Utilising CNC-machined 9mm MDF strips with surface holes, this design creates the illusion of numerous small lights, adding a magical atmosphere to the venue.
