different options for the roof geometry. Eventually they chose a branching ‘L-system’ geometry for the coffered roof. This geometry reflects light throughout different times of the day to create an effect that echoes the play of light on the water outside. The character of the ceiling and the space changes throughout the day and is completely different at night.
The upper level consists of the main bar, lounge and bistro areas which flow onto the large outdoor balconies on the water. It also contains a gaming area and TAB including a new outdoor gaming enclosure.
The ground floor contains the club change rooms and administrative facilities as well as a function centre and a restaurant.
The redesigned upper level has a central white circular bar which is the focus of the space around which the other areas radiate. This area consists of a large open plan space to take maximum advantages of the panoramic views.
Since re-openning the club has enjoyed record attendances and membership and has once again taken its place as the social focus of the area.
The budget for the project was $3mil.
