MANAS CLUBHOUSE
The Manas clubhouse sits at one of the highest points of the township, providing views of the lake and nearby region. The facility is located at the northern terminus of the promenade that connects the township’s mixed-use gateway to the peak. The clubhouse acts as a community center and crafts a monumental central courtyard with extended open space and a pool that can be shared by all.
The glazed envelope of the clubhouse provides transparency that is protected by the contemporary reinterpretation of a traditional screen (bamboo chik) and projecting horizontal shading. The clubhouse includes an upper-level library, meeting and media rooms, and a variety of dining areas, a banquet hall, and a conference center at the lower level that serves the community and guests. The configuration of the buildings that shape a tall, deep space facing south provide shade within the courtyard buy to allow the sun to soak the pool area.
