The design was carefully conceived by the architect to comfortably accommodate up to four judges and a few guests. Its glass façade and sliding doors not only facilitate efficient ventilation but also allow ample natural light to filter in. Additionally, there is a small smoking area on the sides, featuring a beautiful vertical garden. The colour scheme, incorporating shades of grey and red, was selected to mirror the club's colours and to make the structure a prominent design element,emphasizingitwiththestrikingredhue.

My role in this project, in addition to assisting the architect in developing the concept, was to translatetheideasanddesignintotechnicaldrawingsandpresentationsfortheclient.
