Opening in Kuwait City, Venue V56 Golf has opened its doors to the most immersive, craziest of crazy golf adventures the region has ever seen.
London-based interior architecture & design studio Shed, has brought their winning competitive socialising concept to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region with the opening of the new Venue V56 Golf in Kuwait City this month. A first for the city and beckoning a new era in hospitality design in the region, Shed teamed up with the partners of Venue 56, Jacob Moumojian, Ali Abdeen & Gulf Investment House, to realise the ambition of merging electrifying game entertainment with socialising with friends and family in the one venue. Venue 56 unites crazy golf, tenpin bowling and arcade games under one roof for one sensory explosion of fun.
In a region where alcohol is not permitted, the potential for this new concept is especially huge as the ‘activity’ aspect takes on even more importance. Driven by a desire for fun and that all-important adrenaline rush of competing, the design for this vibrant, state-of-the-art venue was crucial to provide a gateway into another world previously unseen in the Gulf states before.
Taking inspiration from Hollywood movies, pop art and old-school arcade games, Shed designed the overall brand identity and interiors that make Venue 56 Golf truly iconic and a stable on the burgeoning Kuwaiti hospitality scene. A fun house of vibrant stimulation, discovery and unique golf putting challenges within each of the individually designed golf landscapes.
Dave Dalziel, Lead Designer and Partner at Shed says: “V56 is the first of a kind crazy golf in Kuwait City. Whilst there are a couple of the archetypal green astroturf and basic obstacle crazy golf courses that exist, there is simply nothing like this in the region. We’re bringing competitive socialising to the GCC and believe we’re positioned perfectly to do so. We’ve designed a multitude of these specialist hospitality venues in the past, from crazy golf to ping pong, and established the clients and brands as leaders in their field. It’s rewarding watching them go from strength to strength off the back of original, unique design and as a result they challenge the status quo. We’re expecting Venue 56 to do exactly the same and are excited to be a part of their journey.”
