About Birdie's Lounge Sala Golf Club

Is-sala għal klabb tal-golf kienet iddisinjata u mibnija fi 6 ġimgħat, fil-ħin għall-jum tal-ftuħ. Kellha wkoll tkun sabiħa, funzjonali bħala sala u xierqa għal ċerimonji ta 'għotjiet ta' kompetizzjoni tal-golf okkażjonali u avvenimenti oħra iżgħar. Għal kaxxa tal-ħġieġ b'żewġ naħat fin-nofs ta 'korsa tal-golf, dan l-approċċ iġib il-ħodor, is-sema u xi kunċett ta' golf fil-bar, bil-kuluri ta 'l-għamara u r-riflessjonijiet tal-kors fil-mera ta' wara tal-mużajk. Il-fehmiet ta 'barra huma ħafna parti mid-disinn u l-esperjenza ta' ġewwa.

Unique Properties
The space for the bar is a box with 3 glass walls and expansive views of the golf course. The project was to design a lounge for a golf club that could be designed and constructed in 6 weeks. It also had to be beautiful, functional as a lounge and appropriate for golf competition awards ceremonies. For a 3 sided glass box in the middle of a golf course, the best approach was to bring the greens, the sky and some notion of golf into the bar, by the colors of the furnishings and the reflections in the mosaic mirror back bar.
Dimensions & Packaging
The space is approximately 400 square meters.

Production Technology
In designing the bar, I had to consider how it would be constructed within 6 weeks. To accomplish this, the carcass for the bar was constructed of Brick masonry while the stone materials were ordered. The yellow onyx cladding was critical to completing the bar on time. The attachment of the Yellow Onyx is by a single large ornamental bolt. The Onyx stone slabs overlap each other with every other panel behind the other sets of panels and overlapping slightly to allow for the carcass and other construction tolerances generously.
Design Challenge
Although the views are really striking from this location, planning in a space with 3 glass walls and traffic paths through the middle doesn't leave many options. The shape of the space had a stagnant feeling. To break this up, a curve was introduced in the bar. The kitchen and entry/exit paths crossed the middle of the space and created a dividing line. The curve in the bar enhanced the flow through the space and created a more natural appearing path.
Research
To design this bar, research on the existing facility design need to be studied to produce a design that would work well with the rest of the facility design. The immediate inspiration was the expansive views and colors of the golf greens and sky.
Inspiration
Golf, the links, the very green golf greens, big blue sky, Big beautiful views
Project Duration
6 weeks from request to provide design services until completed construction and open. Project is in Quang Nam, Vietnam.
Operation Flow
The program of bar, restaurant, lounge, awards ceremony room was a tight fit. Placing the bar at the opaque wall allowed the space to be re-arranged as required for different functions. The lounge is primarily for daytime and daylight use. The free form curved bar facilitates communication - more than 2 people sitting at the curved bar can comfortably see each other when talking. The angled back bar wall enhances the effect of the mosaic mirror reflecting the view of the golf course inside the bar.
