Description

It is a prestigious Club established before the Independence of Bangladesh i.e. in 1967 for the Government Officers. A recreation place where people can sit back, relax, watch and play games, get relieved from their everyday stress. It is a place to meet new people, congregate and chill out with friends and family. 

The growth of this Club has been pretty haphazard, scattered and slow because it never had the kind of funds needed for an architecturally designed organized Club House. It in fact started in a Colonial Building that came with the land. However, over the period of years it has come up to a level of having more than 2000 members and has been able to accommodate all the services and other facilities in a new five storied building which they managed to construct with Government funding and in-house earnings. 

Since the growth of the Club was not planned as mentioned earlier there was no harmony amongst the different services that the Club provides to its members. So, when we got the opportunity to work for this project we took it as a challenge and wanted to rectify the problems as much as possible. We needed to improve certain functions, such as the Cafeteria, Billiard Zone and other Recreational Zones to provide a better Lounge, Lobby etc and to enrich the atmosphere of the whole club. 

Our approach as always was to be as minimalistic as possible and so we played around the interior space with contemporary forms. A sophisticated look was our target. The space planning was clear cut and straight forward. Beams were hidden, ceiling was given an exposed look and the spaces were treated acoustically.
