Lonsdale Links Clubhouse / Wood/Marsh

Responding to the gently undulating terrain of the adjacent golf course and prehistoric Australian coastlands, Lonsdale Links is reminiscent of a relic in the landscape. The contours and softened shapes of the clubhouse connect with the site and as a natural extension, its design is intentionally considered in the round, encircled by the links golf course. Positioned on the crest of a hill, the building can be experienced from various sightlines, emerging above the trees as golfers navigate the course. In response to its coastal conditions and the prevailing winds that come off of Bass Strait, the building is firmly anchored to its site.
