The Clyde North Clubhouse is a Wellness Hub offering a place for renewal of mind, body and spirit, set in a homely and inviting space providing a sense of comfort and warmth.⁠

We acknowledge the Bunurong people, the traditional custodians of the land upon which the Clubhouse stands. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.

The clubhouse is an evolution of our previous Lifestyle Communities projects, where the original boomerang shape was adapted with the intent on connecting all parts of a one-sided building. This resulted in the creation of the heart of the building in the form of a sheltered courtyard space.⁠
The entry to the clubhouse provides a sensory experience for the residents through the visual connection to the landscape upon entry, the feeling of warmth from the timber and the fresh and relaxing smell of a retreat.⁠ Leading residents and visitors through to a centrally located courtyard, the circular building’s form ensures the garden outlook is never far from view.⁠
The kitchen is a celebration of community gathering and cooking enthusiasm. At its heart lies the large island bench inviting everyone to join and be present together. The floor-to-ceiling glazing and doors provide a connection to the external kitchen garden, bringing farm to table meals. ⁠
The pool area provides a space for residents to relax and rejuvenate. Natural textures and a neutral palette work in harmony with the exterior landscape for a calming experience welcoming both peace and sociability.⁠
