The design is deeply inspired by the Club's rich history and architecture, seamlessly blending the past and present. Elegant colonial features of the original building whilst incorporating sleek modern elements into the overall design, and through this interplay of contrasting forms and geometry, we created a timeless space that exudes understated luxury.
Lighting and shadows play a crucial role in our design, fostering an inviting atmosphere filled with natural light. Arches are integrated throughout the interiors, enhancing ceiling height and creating a greater sense of space. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to ensure the space is both functional and an elegant sanctuary for Members, achieving a perfect balance of comfort and sophistication.
Upon entering the Sports & Wellness Centre, a custom marble staircase serves as the primary link between the two floors. Nestled between two beams, we designed a coved ceiling finished with Venetian plaster with subtle lighting that illuminates the staircase, helping guide Members between the floors.
Taking inspiration from the architectural features of the original structure, the staircase includes a bespoke leather wall panel adorned with arch details and stitching, creating a striking contrast between the textures of the wall panel and staircase. Photography by: Steve Wong of One Twenty Three
