SHOOTERS
Shooters is an immersive entertainment venue at the heart of Brussels, where subdued elegance meets theatricality.
A hybrid space blending private club, speakeasy, and airsoft shooting range.
Type: bar/entertainment
Surface: 420m²
Location: Center of Brussels
The Venue
Visitors and members discover a sophisticated setting: smoked oak and aged brass bar, shooting lanes, alcoves lit by backlit faux stained glass.
Here, airsoft shooting pairs with cocktails and small plates in a confidential atmosphere evoking traditional British clubs.
A reimagined sanctuary where one briefly plays the role of the "villain."
The Concept
Shooters' universe plays on deliberate ambiguity: a setting suggesting liturgical innocence and virtue houses a playful, subversive activity.
Lime-plastered walls recall the stone of religious monuments, while raw floors and ceilings frame alcoves diffusing colorful, almost sacred light.
Dimmed lighting and reclaimed church pews create a fascinating tension between sacred and profane.
