A decisive factor for the concept of this project was the narrow, long terrain, on a soft slope, with its largest face looking towards the lake. Also, the fact of being in a closed townhouse made fences and walls unnecessary.

Three linear, non-parallel, blocks implanted in the middle height, with concrete structure and closure mostly in glass and metallic brises organize the main program of the club: party room, kids room, access hall, gymnastics room, changing rooms and spa, as well as living spaces.
The game room is located on the top of these volumes, as well as the walkway that links the street to the building, from where one can glimpse the beautiful lake. All other rooms are below the street level, giving greater privacy to the users and contact with the land and the lake.
A large metal structure with wood lining covers the upper fl oor and makes the whole complex look substantial. Sports courts and the pool complex are on the sides of the club.
