Michael Hill Clubhouse complements the landscape


The client’s brief was to design a place that reinforced the game of golf, operating primarily as a “private box” whilst also providing the capacity to transform into a gateway headquarters for large competitive events.

Contemporist says ‘Hunkered into the earth with less than a third of its volume penetrating above the ground plane, The Michael Hill Clubhouse seeks to integrate and intensify the experience of golf’s primary relationship with the landscape. An integral truss system creates a skewed form, and supports a green roof planted in native tussock.’

The Clubhouse was design by Patterson Associates and is well worth taking a look at on the Contemporist web site.

Clerkenwell Golf Open a Success Despite the Rain


The second Clerkenwell Showroom Golf Open, organised by The Think Tank, was a success despite the rain last week. Enjoyed by all, several teams completed the course around the furniture showrooms of Clerkenwell and finished the course at the 10th hole in Desso’s showroom on Great Sutton Street.

With more than 60 architects, designers and dealers signing up to take part it was going to be a busy afternoon, however the heavens opened and numbers were reduced. But not putting a dampner on things, those that took part had a great time.

The Think Tank congratulates all the winners and looks forward to next years classic.

Clerkenwell’s Premier Golf Tournament is ready to tee off


There is only one week until London’s premier urban golf tournament tees off. The Clerkenwell Showroom Open will be held on 26th August.  

Last year’s inaugural event was a great success and again this year many showrooms across the area have signed up to accommodate a hole of golf.

The Clerkenwell Open is a concept developed by The Think Tank to give architects and designers the opportunity to explore the showrooms of Clerkenwell whilst having a bit of fun and raising money for charity.   Nine showrooms house an indoor hole of golf and the golfers travel around the showrooms to complete the course.  

The tournament is open to individuals and teams and consists of nine holes within walking distance of each other, and finishes at an awards ceremony (party) in the evening.

Many architects and designers have already signed up for this year’s Clerkenwell Showroom Open. If you are interested in entering a team or individually email Dragana at showroomopen@thinktank.org.uk.
