Hive

Following a complete site makeover from DShow Design and FutureTech Pro, more than 100 ADJ fixtures have been installed in this technologically advanced Southern European nightclub.

St. Julian’s, an area that has long been identified as Malta’s clubbing capital, has welcomed a new venue to its vibrant nightlife scene with the opening of Hive. Housed in part of the former Axis Discotheque, Hive blends the storied legacy of its predecessor with an innovative, modern audiovisual design, positioning itself as an entertainment space built for the clubbers of today.

The venue has a large central dance floor surrounded by a stage, an extensive, raised seating area opposite a bar, with a VIP mezzanine above. It became apparent to the building’s owners that a sizeable lighting and visual solution was needed to ensure that absolutely no corner of the club became a technological dead zone.

Bringing in Domnic Attard of DShow Design to create the blueprints for such a high-demand project was the obvious choice, given his extensive experience, some of the most comprehensive of any designer on the island. His background in lighting theatre productions, concerts, and of course, nightclubs, proved useful in the development of this large, extravagant venue.
