A new golf clubhouse on a course designed by Gary Player.

The brief was grand and modest at the same time. It had to include libraries, fireplaces, restaurants, bars, and recreational facilities for visitors, even those with no interest in golf.

Set on a farm, the landscape is its most important feature, so the clubhouse design incorporated an abundance of glass to connect to the nature around it and the mountains in the distance.

There was also a lot behind the scenes. Kitchens, showers, changing rooms, storage rooms, offices, and service areas. All of it had to disappear into the plan so the place still reads as open, smart and luxurious.
