Ambasada Gavioli is a nightclub in Izola, Slovenia named after its architect Gianni Gavioli. It has a floor space of 1,600 m2 and a capacity of 2,500 guests.
The project is inspired from literature, theatre, cinema and fashion. Some themes include Italian baroque with Juliet's balcony and Charles Baudelaire's The Flowers of Evil. The architecture of the club is divided in two floors: wider main room and smaller, more intimate privee', which are connected with a glass wall, that allow visual and programming contact of rooms. The Ambasada Gavioli uses materials like wood, white stone and copper, combined in a Mediterranean style.
The music of Ambasada Gavioli is bases on a combination of several modern directions in club music, like clubbing techno futurism and modern house. The music is played by international DJs residents and other artists. These include Supa DJ Dmitry (from Deee-Lite), Tiësto (Netherlands), Sven Väth (Frankfurt), Marshall Jefferson (Chicago), Laurent Garnier (Paris), Richie Hawtin (Canada), Jeff Mills (Detroit), Takkyū Ishino (Tokyo), Westbam (Berlin), Boris Dlugosch (Germany), David Morales (USA), and DJ Umek.
In the early 1990s a group of young Slovenian businessmen, operating under the name of Evolution Inc., decided to sell all their business assets, get international loans, and invest in what was anticipated to become a trans-national chain of dance entertainment complexes of the future. As opposed to other similar projects in the world at the time, this one was approached heavily from a cultural point of view rather than purely commercial. A well-known Italian architect — maestro Gianni Gavioli — was invited to collaborate on the development. Before the first sketches were laid down, the architect spent over a month in Slovenian Istria, learning about its culture, architecture and legends while meeting with locals from many generations.
