Sports Development Complex - Russia
Concept design recently completed for an Olympic Standard Skeet Training Lodge. The building designs are functional in terms of spatial arrangement and embrace the client's desire for a traditional style of architecture. The proposal is composed of two key buildings, one timber clad and one stone clad, both sitting on a rustic stone plinth and linked by an orangery type atrium space. The impressive atrium houses the trophy cabinets and cafe bar which overlooks the ranges and site.
The atrium structure extends from the building to form a grand porte-cochere to welcome guests. The forms of the buildings have been carefully scaled to give a sense of presence on the site and so that the traditional architectural elements are in proportion.
The larger timber clad building accommodates 10 en-suite bedrooms on the upper floor and office/business facilities below. The stone clad building houses the double height restaurant and VIP
bar which are served by the adjacent kitchen. The restaurant and VIP bar have been located to have optimum views of the ranges, site and enjoy covered external terraces. The VIP bar houses an open fireplace to provide guests with a warm and comfortable ambience.
The lower level houses changing rooms, plant space and weapon facilities as well as the small calibre firing range. Also on the lower level is the Billiard Room with private external access. The Billiard Room has been designed as a multifunction space divisible by a folding/sliding wall and entered via a secure lobby.
All levels are linked by the orangery style atrium space which provides an excellent means of
circulating through the building in a very efficient manner for those who want to bypass the many
services offered and access the ranges as quickly as possible.
