Next Case Study

27-Hole Private Members Club

Seeking to grow its function and wedding business, the club needed a solution. The clubhouse had an open-plan function area, and I proposed installing large floor-to-ceiling bi-folding doors to create a separate function suite. This enabled private functions and weddings to work in harmony with the clubs membership and ultimately increasing the club’s revenue.
