GIfA Awards 2015 Finalist:
Steyn City Clubhouse
Boogertman + Partners

Where once there was nothing, the Steyn City Golf Clubhouse exploits the landscape itself to create shelter and space, blurring the boundaries between natural and built, achieving a constant connection with nature.
Utilizing local materials and labour, the building integrates with its surroundings and the indigenous landscape, creating architecture that is responsive, sensitive, functional and sustainable, while also making use of the latest available technology.
The grassland sweeps over the architecture and the building components fragment in order to enhance its connection with nature by juxtaposing the buildings organic shapes with the Highveld landscape. This achieves a harmonious symbiosis between nature and the architecture which nestles within it.

The suburban gated context and the model of a wealthy enclave problematize this project before entering. Reading this urban context as outside the mandate of the project, one finds the ingenuity of the architects played at full force. The buildings that house parking and clubhouse facilities dematerialize and emerge in a dynamic and organic play of forms. This project provides an ingenious landscape-architecture approach for partially submerging buildings in the Highveld landscape.
The use of site-sourced stones in carefully packed gabions creates beautiful surfaces that merge architecture and landscape. The buildings are experienced from within and from around and the seamless design hides infrastructure and services.
