Following its work on the ZA Restaurant in Amsterdam, Atelier van Wengerden was asked to design a new, five-storey casino in this famous Black Sea resort. The concrete superstructure was already built so the main task was to imagine and shape a functional yet attractive aesthetic that serves multiple customer groups and activities. 

Outside, the intention was to clearly communicate the purpose of the building as a casino, but to do so in a more muted fashion. The façade was therefore redesigned to create a greater uniformity, with a raised awning, a raised VIP entrance, and the addition of metal louvres with LED lights. The LED lights enable a wide variety of lively light displays and projections.
