Project Details:
Location - Bedfordview, Johannesburg Role - Project Architect Project Type - Leisure & Sport Commissioned - 2005 Status - Completed 2007

This brand is an extension of the well known 'Vodacom World of Golf' driving range located in Woodmead, Johannesburg. The project is split into 2 distinct designs. The first is the restaurant component and the second is the golf driving range area.

The clients brief for the restaurant and club house was for the design to create a homely yet sporting feel for its recently acquired smaller family orientated driving range facilities. The upgraded facility had to cater for the needs of the entire family allowing activities for both parents and children.

The concept coined as "residential-sport" focuses on the family orientated facility rather than a sports club environment such as the World of Golf. The choice of materials reflect this by the use of softer and wormer finishes such as the use of timber cladding and exposed timber canopies, stone together with red and green accents in furniture and floor coverings complete the recognizable elements of a typical home. Materials were carefully selected for there esthetical properties but also there durability for a high trafficable environment.
