The Clubhouse

The Clubhouse

Situated within fifty acres of park land The Clubhouse has redefined Uxbridge Business Park. This dynamic, vibrant community hub, set amongst ornamental grasses in a sunny riverside location, boasts stunning areas to sit, meet and relax, blurring the lines between work and play. In such a desirable location it would be impossible to ignore the encompassing natural beauty. Our primary aim was to not only acknowledge, but embrace and incorporate the surrounding natural elements into our design. The quantum of glazing reflects the surrounding green environment and the use of the bio sedum green roof boosts biodiversity, encouraging a real buzz around the area, quite literally! With large glazed walls on the South façade the occupants are able to embrace the outstanding views of the flora, fauna and of the River Sands, a perfect landscape and structural symbiosis. Our scheme offers a café, a flexible studio, meeting spaces and office provisions transforming the business park’s amenity offer. We have achieved the lightweight, open appearance by arranging the building around the central serving core, the kitchen, providing ample daylight and controlled ventilation to the occupied space.

The landscaping echoes the riparian character of the River Sands bringing movement and year-round colour throughout the space. The widened and re-aligned footpath that runs to the site generates a meandering route through undulating lawn mounds and groups of birch trees, with curved arrays of grasses and colourful perennials. To promote the establishment of aquatic and marginal species, the canopies of the trees that line the river have been lifted and some of the dense shrubs removed, further enhancing the views to the water from the café. The landscaped terrace to the west side of the pavilion provides the café users with outside seating, forming a stronger connection to the surrounding environment. The long timber-topped curved bench creates an edge to this terrace area with the gently rolling lawn mounds behind it, allowing for a more informal place to sit, meet and relax. The Clubhouse is part of a wider masterplan of the area to encourage tenants to engage with the surrounding natural area and benefit from fitness facilities such as a football pitch, tennis courts and a yoga studio. By enhancing tenant wellbeing through these provisions Uxbridge Business Park has become a leader on health and wellbeing in the commercial office sector.
