The series of bold ‘V’ trusses convey vitality and strength, becoming the main organizing element throughout the building as they cradle the various programs and spaces.

The open Courtyard is delightful with its forest-like ambience, created through planters that employ biomorphic shapes and introduction of canopy trees and shade-tolerant shrub species. The planters are formed with seats, creating a conducive resting or rendezvous point.

A concrete bulwark main façade gives the clubhouse a sense of solidity, boldness and stability. Serving as a distinctive beacon for the clubhouse, the façade also shields the clubhouse and park from disturbances from the adjacent roadway.

Unlike other SAFRA clubhouses, the swimming pool is elevated to the 2nd storey due to the tight site constraints. This frees up valuable ground space while providing stunning aerial views of the park and extending the pool to seemingly blend into the foliage through an infinity edge.

Located on the 4th level of the clubhouse, the semi-outdoor running track is accessible from the park at ground-level via an external staircase. The ceiling’s role in this choreography is pivotal; it serves as a dynamic visual catalyst, guiding the eye and spirit forward.
