Nirvana 63

Situated on a contoured site, a series of curvilinear volumes create this sports club. Nestled into the existing site levels that vary by 10 metres, care has been taken to avoid any cutting or filling of the land. A each of the 3 levels the building steps back with juxtaposed volumes opening into landscaped terraces overlooking a valley beyond. Based upon the extensive requirements, the sports club is planned in zones with indoor games along one side , outdoor games grouped in the relatively flat part of the site and entertainment areas grouped together. The sports facilities include an Olympic sized swimming pool, tennis courts & basketball courts in the open area. Squash courts , badminton, table tennis and other indoor games are planned along with a large gymnasium & spa facility. Restaurants , lounge areas, banqueting facilities & a bar occupy the side with the best views. The entire building will be conducted in concrete along with sandstone available in the region. Minimal land cutting, the use of regional sandstone, water recycling & rain water harvesting , solar energy harnessing & north orientation with screened volumes create an energy efficient building.
