The Lodge
A private lodge designed to accommodate elite sporting figures during their sports coaching or games at the local sport clubs and training centres. This high specification player accommodation comprises 45 bedrooms, health and wellbeing treatment rooms, entertainment spaces and outdoor living areas. The curvilinear building was designed by F3 Architects who had a strong focus on the surrounding natural environment, therefore they ensured that the crescent lodge had a Scandi feel sympathetic to its location.
To connect the new build lodge to its rural surroundings F3 Architects designed the inner façade of the crescent with a series of timber pillars spanning the full width of the two-storey accommodation. To further nestle the building into the landscape, the roof of the lodge was planted with an array of flora to create a living green roof. The wooden pillars are set a metre or so away from the façade of the glazed walls to provide an element of privacy to each room while also offering shade to the internal spaces.
