Leisure spaces here do double duty: they’re active when you want them to be, but comfortable enough for everyday use. This room borrows cues from hotel lounges—soft lighting, relaxed furniture, tailored joinery—so residents feel welcome whether they’re meeting friends or reading the paper. It’s part of a broader amenity offer that helps homeowners “thrive” through social activity and shared facilities.
The layout is zoned for choice. The billiards table sits centrally on a dense underlay to reduce ball impact noise and to subtly mark the play area. Along the window, café-height tables and upholstered timber chairs capture daylight filtered through sheers; they’re ideal for coffee, laptops or board games. A continuous bench, upholstered in a durable faux-leather, runs the length of the opposite wall—useful overflow seating during social nights and an easy perch between shots.
Finishes are deliberately calm and textural rather than shiny. A loop-pile rug under the table softens acoustics and offers visual warmth. Wall panelling in a painted, lightly ribbed profile adds interest without artwork overload. The joinery niche for cue storage keeps equipment neat, while a deeper section forms a cushioned window seat with concealed drawers for puzzles and games.
Long, dimmable linear pendants are suspended low enough to illuminate the table surface without glare, supplemented by quiet recessed downlights. Pale timber, nutmeg upholstery and deep green cloth on the table reference classic clubrooms but in a fresh, contemporary key. Power is discreetly available at the café tables to support devices, and circulation around the billiards table meets generous clearances for comfort.
The result is a generous yet intimate room that supports multiple rhythms throughout the day—morning coffees, solitary crosswords, spirited tournaments—anchored by materials that age gracefully and an atmosphere that invites lingering.
