Georgia Golf clubhouse
Tbilisi, Georgia
2015 architectural draft plan
Conceptual architectural solution (draft plan) for a modern, attractive and user friendly Clubhouse. Situated on a hilltop, the planned Golf Club will be visible for kilometres and will serve as a landmark with its notable shape.
The architectural design idea of the Clubhouse is a cloud on top of the mountain. This particular mountain is visible from far on the highway from Tbilisi together with a neighbouring peak hosting a cloister. The tower of the cloister on the neighbouring mountain is a dominant vertical form. Therefore, the Clubhouse has a more free and airy shape. This is emphasised by gently wavy shape of the Clubhouse’s roof. The Club’s Main Hall is planned as a two-story high room with a shape inspired by of the golf club used for opening the game - the driver.
The complexity of the building’s functional scheme comes from its location on top of the hill on an oval-shaped plateau with limited space. The area is accessed via a road from the end of the oval plateau that connects it to the main road. The Clubhouse is circled by a road and open-air parking. This also provides access for the players to the range, the first tee and the last tee, which all a located in different directions from the Club House. To increase security for children the plan provides for a possibility to construct a bridge over the road. The bridge would start from the childcare room on the 1st floor and lead to the range where children’s classes will take place.
The two-story high Main Hall is situated at the end of the Clubhouse towards the access road. This gives the arriving visitors the first look of the most imposing part of the Clubhouse - the two-story high Main Hall with its shape inspired by the golf club used for opening the game, the driver.
