Gettys Group & Tilebar
S/X Sky Bar situated in the newly built Essex on The Park Residential Tower, features a 5th floor dance floor and 6th floor, over the top, restaurant and club.
Sensual Au Courant is the overall concept for this beverage and food destination. Being in the know is what the guest will feel upon entry when greeted by the authoritative hostess, SX is on the one hand a place to be on display and on the other hand a place to find your private corner to view the display. The various bar and lounge spaces are truly an eclectic mix of colors, patterns, and lighting that creates a stimulating environment where guests can mingle while enjoying striking views of the lake and sky. Multiple bars and hidden nooks allow the guest to explore the spaces and create moments of contact. Whimsical, unexpected, bold, and upscale all come together within this space. Black and white contrasting geometries mix with curving feminine shapes and color palettes all backdropped with large-scale floral patterns and soft lighting. Even the restrooms feel more like a high-end private residence with sculptural vanities and mirrors within a polished and reflective environment. Suggestive and decadent, SX is the new spot to see and be seen.
The interior design welcomes guests with a sensual lighter entry off the elevators, guiding you through the restaurant to the darkest most dramatic areas of the club, within the restrooms. The restroom design features highly glossy finishes, including the linear modeled subway tile and unexpected whimsical marble mosaic on the walls. The tiles selected compliment the bold impact that each space contributes to the club as a whole.
