Concept
The idea of the open roof drove the design theme. This came from the desire to have better air quality around the dance floor. The name Celestia is inspired by the stars the roof made visible. The stellar theme continues in the lighting above the dining area. The Celestia logo is modelled on the patterns of light around a black hole.
Noise management in the dining area is a key focus. The extra-high ceiling coupled with numerous small hanging lights act to absorb and disperse noise from other diners and from the dance floor. In the beer garden hedges muffle conversation between tables.
The ground floor is designed to allow free movement of patrons through the various areas of the nightclub as well as to allow easy service of diners by staff. Two wide staircases ease the transition between the lower and upper floors. A lift allows access for mobility impaired guests and staff.

The high ceiling coupled with the hanging lights absorbs and disperses conversational noise from other diners.

The roof can open to the night sky, reducing noise and heat while allowing a view of the stars.
