The Trilogy Superclub

The psychedelic kinetic lighting above the dance floor is the highlight of the nightclub

Mumbai's multiple seafronts are where all the buzz is. An iconic citadel of Juhu nightlife is the Trilogy nightclub, part of the popular Hotel Sea Princess. Owned by Ryan and Keenan Tham, the nightclub—re-christened as Trilogy Superclub—is currently enjoying a renaissance of sorts. When the nightclub first opened its doors in 2010, it was all the rage. It still continues to be so.

The new layout seamlessly integrates contemporary decor and modern technology

Interestingly, this isn't the first time Trilogy has undergone a revamp. The first major do-over was carried out in 2013. Fast forward to 2018 and reinvention seems to be the key to success for the Tham brothers and their five-star nightclub. Helmed by Mumbai-based interior design firm Sumessh Menon and Associates, the new layout, spanning 4,000 square feet, seamlessly integrates contemporary decor and modern technology.

The 'wow' factor

Since the two-storeyed nightclub is already an established entity, for Sumessh Menon and his team, the challenge lay in knowing precisely how to take the 'wow' factor a few notches higher. "We considered introducing technologically advanced concepts that haven't been tried before in India. And so, our design pitch included the mobile DJ console (which shuttles between the ground and VIP levels) and kinetic lighting," says Menon.

The psychedelic wave of the sugar cube-like kinetic lighting above the double height dance floor is undoubtedly the highlight of the nightclub. Made up of 600 kinetic light spheres, the lighting is designed to move according to patterns that can also be customized, driven on a Madrix system. "An Australian consultant specializing in kinetic lighting was especially roped in for this project," Menon tells us.

Latest offerings

Modern cabanas dot the area around the pool, re-christened the Trilogy Beach Club

In addition to the Trilogy makeover, the Tham brothers have also converted the pool area, now known as the Trilogy Beach Club, at the hotel into a space that encourages conversations and revelry. Modern cabanas dot the area around the pool and offer stunning views of the Arabian Sea. The beach club was designed with an all-white palette, reminiscent of Nikki beach in Miami. The revamped Asian Bistro also has a new design.

The design team added a few feature elements to incorporate an Asian feel to it, including the cement block design wall with Asian motifs and a new customised glazing wall near the entrance painted in a pop shade of red. The spiffy new nightclub, bistro and beach club will definitely attract a new legion of regular party-goers.
