Nature inspires casino’s new-look interior
ROODEPOORT - Big changes are on the cards at Silverstar Casino, but you'd need to go inside to see for yourself.
Visitors can already notice some interior changes taking effect as Silverstar Casino’s multi-million Rand renovations progress.
Refurbishment of the interior is currently underway and will conclude in early September.
The entire gaming floor and internal complex are being aesthetically refreshed, while existing casino lobbies and walkways will be refurbished to reflect the same design concept as the new areas that have been added to Silverstar as part of the development.
The design concept has been inspired by nature, creating a contemporary design with warm, earthy tones and natural materials to generate a soothing, yet sophisticated atmosphere which links the relationship between the interior and exterior spaces, Silverstar’s Shane Collins explained.
“The overall theme driving our development is bringing Silverstar into the open air and merging the inside and outside entertainment areas.”
A neutral palette is being used for the existing walls and ceilings. The stenciled flowers on the walls, for example, will be painted over to create a tranquil ambience, and the architraves will be accentuated with darker colour tones.
The vibrant new carpets that will line casino walkways also have an interesting story to tell. They are a blend of wool (for natural soiling-resistance) and nylon (for durability) and were custom-designed, based on a stylised interpretation of a nebular galaxy.
Silverstar also adds a brand new cinema complex with six cinemas all boasting the latest 3D screens.
The cinema zone includes a lobby area that will serve as a snack emporium which services both the cinema and entertainment areas.
Natural elements are incorporated into the design by using organic flowing effects on the walls and dramatic waves on the ceiling. Lighting will be used to create the mood.
The casino is still open for business while renovations proceed.
