Aside from a facade that references the band's "another brick in the wall" lyric, the designers steered clear of any overt homages. "The atmosphere of the inside rooms weren't inspired by one song, but by all the band's imagery," says Cabanal. *Photo: Arqbauraum*

The first space guests enter is a dark, humid room with a waterfall which is supposed to act like a baptism. *Photo: Arqbauraum*

Following the cave, visitors enter a sun-drenched room. "It's a purification, a direct contact with something divine," says Cabanal. "It's energy, a source of life, it's the sun." *Photo: Arqbauraum*
