THE CLUB golf village
Annaka, Annaka, Japan
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2022
SIZE
3000 sqft - 5000 sqft
A golf clubhouse renovated into an extraordinary space for relaxation
Based on the concept of “creating a resort that restores even humanity,” the project involved a phased renewal of the entire golf course facility and a full renovation of the clubhouse building.
The concept was drastically changed from a golf course, which symbolized the economic bubble era, to a facility that would welcome a wide range of customers for retreats, and design considerations were made.
Primitive-shaped spaces such as the domed lobby, spherical meditation sauna, and floating rectangular lockers are placed in a dispersed manner, and the wood finish and light design create a sense of the extraordinary. The materials used were limited to gray plaster paint and wood. The aim was to create a high-quality space suitable for adult holidays by eliminating decorative design and applying a light design.
The café space behind the reception counter at the entrance, while utilizing the existing curved ceiling, was designed as a wood-lined dome-like space, with the area divided by an arch opening, eliminating decoration. This café space, which looks out from the entrance to the golf course, is filled with bright natural light reflected from the floor and serves not only as a welcoming space for visitors but also as a visual and experiential link between this clubhouse and the golf course.
The top light on the large roof of the second floor, which was a feature of the existing building, was blocked off to prevent heat, but artificial lighting was added to provide stable light, and reflectors were added to illuminate the ceiling surface, a design feature inherited from the original design.
The existing large bathroom on the first floor of the clubhouse building has been significantly updated by retaining the location of the bathtub in the interior area and carefully selecting wooden bath chairs, wooden decking, gray tiles, and wood finishes to match the materials used throughout the facility. The bathroom’s washing area has a wall that is dug in to keep shampoos and the water basin out of sight, and indirect lighting was applied.
The outdoor bath has a lattice sunshade and deck, and a new, spherical sauna was designed. The water bath and spherical sauna, illuminated by indirect lighting, are private saunas of the private room type where one can meditate alone. By creating a special place with a sense of detachment, the spa experience in the bathhouse was enhanced.
The locker room is a space to change into golf wear, bathrobes, etc., and switch to an extraordinary environment. The design was required to avoid making the space look inorganic and tacky with rows of metal lockers. The lockers were designed to look like floating lockers with indirect lighting and a minimalist shape with only a locker number and key, with thin wood covering the entire surface so that the lockers would not be recognizable at first glance.
Art paintings directly on the wall of the front room peek out from the back of the locker room, creating a warm and inviting space as if one were spending time amid trees.
A members-only living room was created on the second floor of the clubhouse building. It is a spacious space with a counter kitchen where light meals and drinks can be enjoyed, a down living room with a bioethanol fireplace, and a stage for live piano performances. The floor, walls, and ceiling are finished with an integrated wood-clad band, creating a safe, enveloping design and reducing visual information such as existing columns and beams. It is intended to be a place where one can go back and forth between the living room and the fitness gym across the street, or in bathrobes and relaxing clothes, in a relaxed atmosphere as if one were at home.
