This spectacular 2,500m² clubhouse includes a spa, a restaurant and a bar, with interiors that feel like a private members' club. Despite a multitude of services and facilities, the clubhouse has been kept as open as possible and the lighting design had to provide full legibility of the scheme's complexity while indicating individual areas in a unified manner. The judges felt that it "overcame restricted space to create a sophisticated environment with lighting that's integral to the design concept". The sweeping ceiling is full rendered to recall an expanse of sky, where subtle shifts in lighting hue provide atmospheric raking. High output cool cold cathode, combined with low voltage linear tungsten lighting, allows a variety of bright, fresh lighting during the day and warm dimmed lighting in the evening to create an intimate space. Some touches of blue, orange and purple at the edges mimic a summer day horizon, sunset and midnight colours. All lighting is concealed in furniture and architectural details, while the main ambient lighting comes from the artificial sky.
