New lighting scheme
Featuring an open reception, light and bright office, display cabinetry for trophies, and a comfortable multi-purpose lounge. Conceived like an illuminated trophy display, a new circular vision panel opens the reception to the stair and lift lobby thus creating transparency and allowing view across. Large glazed doors and windows open views to the gardens and tennis courts outside. The multi-purpose lounge is a highly flexible space that can be configured as a relaxation area, meeting space, cinema room, formal dining space or games room. Purpose-design built-in cupboards accommodate furniture for the various uses. The project was accomplished thanks to a close collaboration with the Club's Committee and Jane Flynn for the furnishing.
