Hawkstowe Lifestyle Centre, Hawkstowe
30.04.2007| The proposed development is a community clubhouse which includes facilities such as a tennis court, swimming pool, a function room and external terraces.The Hawkstowe Community Club is first seen as a strong, traditional built form on the hill at the end of the entry boulevard.The building is comprised of a series of timber containers resting on a low stone wall, creating a clever separation between communal and private.
The structure is covered by a simple hip roof and together these elements form an abstraction of the vernacular farm house building common to the region. The entry to the clubhouse is wide and welcoming providing both a gateway and a shelter for community events, while the floor plane is raised up to replicate the archetypal veranda space, overlooking the private terraces and gardens to the north. |
