Using design to ensure a full house
Article Abstract:
Cambos Enterprises' new bingo club, Buckingham Bingo Club in Bootle, UK, has made full use of design features to attract customers. The purpose-built club, designed by Glazebrook Interior Architects (GIA), offers facilities including an amusement area, restaurants, bars and a main hall. GIA's aim was to create an inviting atmosphere within a huge building, using bright but not brash colours to welcome people. Other design features include high quality fittings and furnishings, wide, comfortable seats, air-conditioning, good access for disabled people, and attention to security.
