Clubhouse Design - Architecture Case Study

The document provides a case study of the Lake Hills Clubhouse in South Korea designed by architect Ken Min Sung Jin. The architect designed the clubhouse to reflect traditional Korean architecture using local materials like wood and stone. Key aspects of the design include a 14m long wooden structure with an inverted arch, concrete used for wet areas, and an inclined roof serving as a green space. The site was chosen for its views of surrounding mountains and the design adapted to the landscape with minimal cutting and filling.

CASE STUDY ON CLUBHOUSE

LAKE HILLS CLUB, SOUTH KOREA

Done By
Arif
Mounika
Saif
Vignesh

The first Clubhouse was Fountain House, opened in New York in 1948. It was
founded on the belief that, regardless of mental illness, clubhouse members
could work productively and have socially satisfying lives. The rest of the
mental health establishment did not believe that people with mental illness
could benefit by a program based on rehabilitation, community, and mutually
reciprocal relationships with staff. They continued to base mental health
treatment on the medical model, which was focused on the fixing the "patient"
and his or her "illness."
In 1977, Fountain House was the only program of its kind which received a grant
from the National Institute of Mental Health to establish a Clubhouse Model
training program.
In 1987, there were more than 220 clubhouses in the United States alone. In terms
of successful replication, this had been the most successful grant the officials
at NIMH had ever funded.

By 1994, the clubhouse movement
had grown to the point where it
became necessary to create a
separate organization to manage new
clubhouse development, training,
consultation and certification. This led
to the creation of the International
Centre for Clubhouse Development
(ICCD), which is still the certifying
body for clubhouses worldwide.

HISTORY

In 1997, McKinney wrote in his book,


The Clubhouse: A Brief History of the Golf Clubhouse with Accompanying Notes
on Design Issues. "The clubhouse is the personality of the golf facility or
country club. It must be well thought out and designed, harmonious with the
sedate atmospheres of the golf course and its grounds and complement the
expectations of a membership for its clubhouse as an extension of their
homes."
For better or worse, local traditional designs are recognised during that time.

Liberty National Golf Club

Dan Fireman, who owns Liberty National Golf Club


with his father, Reebok founder Paul Fireman,
wanted to have a clubhouse with architecture that
people expect in New York." Construction of the
sweeping glass building, which was drawn up by
New Yorkbased Lindsay Newman Architecture
and Design, began in 2007 and completed by the
summer of 2008. As said by the project director
Joel Brenner:

"When you go to a golf club, the architecture is usually pretty far in, in a
private setting. You dont see it right away, and it is supposed to be
comforting and residential-like. But here we are exposed to New York City:
metropolitan, So were going to make the structure light and airy, a nautical
feel, an open feel. It wants to be bright; it wants to be exposed. We are
essentially a golf club in the middle of New York City. A traditional approach
would not be appropriate.
In modern days a Clubhouse is termed as Club + House. It is a building
occupied by a social club, where members of the club meet, spend leisure
hours, relax.

The project chosen for study


is designed by Architect
Ken Min Sung Jin, who follows
the traditional building style
of South Korea
Lake hills Clubhouse, Korea

SURROUNDING CONTEXT

Accommodating the clubs complex


function into a wooden structure
expresses the Korean architectural
beauty.

Traditional form

Abstraction

Deformational reinterpretation

Reviewed structural form

The structure follows the Korean tradition which interpret tectonic elements of the
traditional Korean wooden building. wooden structure consists of 14m-long span and 12mhigh inverted arch.
prior focus is on spatial aesthetics, space perception and sentiments (emotions)
of general Korean architecture.

DESIGN CONCEPT

Additionally, external light is brought


inside the building through the lifted
inclined planes.

Pathway covered
with stainless steel

Spaces that has water (semi wet


areas) such as the locker rooms,
saunas, and bathing area, were
built with concrete.

The roof is inclined so that it serves as


an eco-friendly rooftop green space.

Wood, stone, glass, stainless steel and


granite is used as a part of tradition

PLANNING

The feelings of a box-like solid


and simple mass, rendered by the
concrete and the soft, elegant and
warm feeling of the curved
wooden structure, are balanced
together while creating a
juxtaposed tension.

DETAILS

Building location and scale of the project

In terms of design, the building orientation plays a key role in


enhancing the comfort and building usage and likewise Locating a
Clubhouse in a natural backdrop suits better.

Landscape, views, levels


The Geographic forms are retained to the maximum extent, cutting
and filling on site is minimized as the overall design adapts itself, surrounded
by contours and mountains achieving refreshing panoramic views in the
outdoors.

Building design style and concept / design approach


Architect Ken Min Sung Jin has done this Clubhouse project
without leaving the spirit of Korean Traditional Architecture. In his
attempt of designing another Clubhouse - The Ananti Club
in Seoul, Korea, Ken Min has shown tremendous contrast in adopting
pure European building style thereby bringing out fluency and variations
in design.
