Lucid: There are two definitions for the word “lucid.” The first is intelligible, easy to understand; the second is translucent or transparent. This place is clearly the latter. It’s hard to understand why visitors would hang out in a lounge that’s essentially the VIP room to a bowling alley (Bowlmor Lanes). As unique and stylized as this big, flashy room is, the dizzying lights, loud music, and lack of intimacy make for a high-strung evening. Seating lines the walls, surrounding the dance floor in the center of this ultra-modern lounge. Walls and ceiling alike graduate from pink to blue to green as diffused lights glow through translucent paneling. Lucid’s inspired design is well-matched to Pressure (the futuristic game room surrounding it), but despite occasional flashes of brilliance, it’s just too much. |
