The 16,500 sq-ft space will be redesigned by former sbe in-house designer, Christian Schulz and his team at the award-winning boutique design agency, Studio Collective. Zouk LA will evoke frivolity, decadence, and an innate feeling of novelty associated with modernity and breaking with tradition.
This new venue will recreate the spatial energy of its global Zouk Group counterparts by embracing heightened design features through unparalleled production elements. The space will be adorned with distinct finishes and dynamic lighting throughout the footprint, instilling a resonance of luxury. Evocative of free-flowing extravagance and glamor, Zouk LA will feature steeped profile details, sumptuous curved seating and faceted chandeliers.
The end result being a purposeful, luxurious destination that will transport partygoers and elicit a full kinetic impact through visual, physical and sensual experiences.
Zouk LA is an equal partnership between Zouk Group and sbe, with day-to-day management of the property by sbe, well regarded as the largest nightlife company in the history of Los Angeles. For the past twenty years, Nazarian and sbe have been at the center of transforming and reimagining the LA nightlife scene; building experiences and destinations that have disrupted the industry while simultaneously starting globally-affecting trends.
“It is such an honor to be partnering with Zouk Group, my dear friend Hui and his seasoned team to breathe new air into Los Angeles’ nightlife scene,” says Sam.. “This opening is going to introduce Zouk Group’s constant dedication to innovating and elevating the nightlife experience to Los Angeles for the very first time. Together, as leaders of family-run businesses that are always challenging the status quo, we will create the ultimate destination for Angelenos and visitors alike; ensuring we will continue to disrupt the nightlife sector for the next 20 years.”
