This is the name, and at the same time, the peculiar motto of the new bowling club, which opened in Moscow (Sergey Makeyev Street, p. 8a). Strange, at first glance, the verbal designation, according to the owners, accurately determines the meaning of the game. Casus conus loosely translated from Latin - "falling point." It is clear that it symbolizes hitting the ball right on target. The new entertainment complex is located in the former building of a metalworking plant, built in the first decade of the twentieth century. As a result of the reconstruction, an old industrial object has acquired a new, vibrant "life" as a ... modern bowling alley. The industrial nature of the building determined the main stylistic motive in creating the club's interior. “We wanted the visitor, once in our club, to feel the spirit of the Russian industrial revolution of the beginning of the twentieth century,” Dmitry Narinsky explained his idea. A feature of the space-spatial solution in the central hall is the mezzanine floor - a large observation platform for observing the game. The metal welded elements of the stairs, the details of the supporting structures fit organically into the brutal plastics of the industrial environment. In the future, it was the geometric matrix - the style of "industrial retro" - which was created by the architects, became a kind of experimental field for decorators in the search for new forms and technologies for the decoration of the interior.
