Banana Max, a club built in the mid eighties as a local fun spot for dancing, was originally a western club. The bar area had been a revolving floor where patrons could watch a rocking bull. We decided to keep the plate that revolved and build the bar on top so the bar clientele could have a slowly moving scene of the entire space as well as the outside garden, while sitting at the bar. The motif of a wild bird’s life begins in the bar with painted birds by Carlos Alfonzo, a well known artist from Cuba. The theme evolves into the darker room with feathers floating on the lit recessed wall behind a second bar. Finally the bird is in flight in a large dance room surrounded by five large bars where you, the dancer, become the bird! Projector lights accent only the orchids, on the thirty foot tropical jungle mural by Gabrielle Fiorentino. The crystal balls in the middle room glow from lights installed in the bases of the tables illuminating the gold-leaf stars on the tabletops. Aurora light fixtures hung over five bars, in combination with lucite glass racks, in the main room . As you scroll through the pictures notice differences in coloring and lighting, designed for various atmospheres. The club, was located on the inner coastal waterway in Jupiter, Florida. It was a block from the Burt Reynolds Theater and became the popular area for social gathering.
