The Horspath Range is a clubhouse that is built using a modular system and houses six changing rooms. The pavilion is constructed using a modular metal frame system of construction with prefabricated elements.
Materials & Finish
The building is largely prefabricated offsite with the building sitting on a formal foundation system ready to be installed extremely quickly. The clubhouse is finished with larch cladding, a rubber roof and metal doors and windows.
Layout
The pavilion is sited on a large sports ground that has a number of football and cricket pitches which needs to house six changing rooms that serve both sports. The building has a clubroom with a bar that tailors for the supporters.
The clubroom has large bifold doors positioned on either side so that spectators can watch both matches from the clubroom but, most importantly, is sphered so that views of both cricket grounds can be seen from the clubhouse. A bar and kitchen are constructed within the clubroom space so that people working in either area can also enjoy the action. The clubroom is also designed to include space for music with wall covering designed to help absorb some of the sound. The wall covering also provides an aesthetic benefit.
The function space can cater for these requirements but also for weddings, parties and similar functions. This will provide the revenue required to sustain the facility. However, the building is very energy efficient with eco-friendly measures incorporated throughout including LED lighting, eco boilers and similar to ensure compliance with SBEM and help reduce whole life costs.
