The health and recreation club is spaciously sprawled out in a rectangular site with a cafeteria, a restaurant, a sports center and a spa which are organized around an open landscaped area. The entrance is formulated adjacent to the cafeteria, defined by a feature wall which in turn opens out to the vast open space. The blocks are linked by pathways around the landscaped area with an angled pathway that cuts through it, connecting the cafeteria and restaurant. With the aim of maximizing visual transparency, glass is employed on the facades, along with brickwork, blurring the line between interior and exterior spaces....
