We treated the circulation spine as a gallery—moments of texture, seating and planting turn a passage into a place. Vision panels keep spaces visually connected and safe; warm light, generous benches and personal lockers make daily routines smooth for residents and guests.

The spine is choreographed to slow the pace on approach to reception. Timber-look lockers and benching form a continuous datum that does three jobs—bag drop, perch, and tidy storage—while also warming the tone of the corridor. Opposite, full-height glazing offers glimpses into active rooms, reinforcing the clubhouse’s social heart. A tactile, botanical wall treatment adds depth and local colour without overwhelming the narrow volume.

Floors continue the pale porcelain language from public spaces for easy cleaning and intuitive wayfinding back to the pool and lounge. The concierge counter ahead reprises our softly-ribbed timber motif and warm downlighting from the broader palette in The Living Room, tying front-of-house into the community spaces beyond. Where privacy is required, sheer curtains filter views without blocking light, and acoustic ceilings keep conversations comfortable.

The overall hierarchy—active glazing on one side, tactile walling on the other—means the spine never feels like a back-of-house corridor; it is a legible, generous “in-between” that sets the tone for the day.

More on this project

A warm, flexible “great room” where dinners, trivia nights and club meetings flow around a generous chef’s island, layered timber joinery and soft sheers to the garden terrace.

The Living Room

A generous island anchors the residents’ kitchen, pairing a boldly veined stone with pale timber joinery. Soft task lighting washes a square-tiled splashback, while integrated appliances and slimline stools turn the space into a relaxed hub for cooking, classes and communal dining.

Clubhouse Kitchen & Entertaining Island

A club-style games lounge pairs a full-size billiards table with café-height tables beside sheer curtains. Upholstered bench seating, long linear pendants and acoustic treatment temper the buzz, encouraging everything from tournaments to quiet card games and morning coffees.

Games Lounge with Pool Table

A sheltered outdoor lounge opens directly to the central garden. Deep, low chairs and a compact coffee table create a conversational setting, while the covered edge provides shade, weather protection and a gentle threshold between indoor comforts and the landscape beyond.

Covered Terrace to Courtyard

Curving paths stitch together lawns, native planting and shaded seating. The clubhouse reads as a series of calm pavilions, while mature eucalypts lend character and scale. It’s an easy landscape to stroll, pause and meet neighbours in.

Garden & Meandering Paths

A companion view of the library shows the dedicated study bench with two screens, cable management and soft task lighting. Open shelving continues overhead for display, while a pair of sculptural armchairs create a secondary conversation pocket in the foreground.

Library Wall with Reading Nook & Desk Zone

A robust pergola shelters an outdoor table setting, paired with timber-and-steel benches around a fire bowl. The space hosts everything from long lunches to evening events, connecting directly to garden paths and planting.

Alfresco Dining Pergola & Firepit Benches

A calm, private sun deck edges the pool hall, stepping out to citrus-toned planting and views of the courtyard. Generous loungers, café settings and a low fence keep the space sociable yet secure—perfect for a slow morning or post-swim pause.

Pool Terrace & Sun Deck

A light-filled dining room anchored by a soft, curved fireplace. Timber tables, upholstered chairs and artful planting create the feeling of an all-day neighbourhood café.

Dining Lounge & Fireplace

From the shallow end, the pool reads like a sunroom—quiet light, soft planting and long perspectives that make daily laps feel like a ritual rather than a routine.
