Sunterra North

The design of the Sunterra North recreation center emphasizes a seamless connection between the buildings and the surrounding site. Originally programmed as a single structure, the Clubhouse and Fitness buildings were later separated and angled slightly to optimize views of the pool area. This adjustment resulted in more functional spaces and established a central axis that serves as the entry point. The placement of the pool restroom building ensures direct accessibility from both the pool and splash pad, while also facilitating connections to the main courtyard activities.

The Clubhouse and fitness facilities provide opportunities for the indoor program to seamlessly expand onto adjacent patios using sectional and folding doors. However, the most captivating integration of outdoor and indoor spaces was achieved through the careful selection of materials. The expansive stone walls that flank the Clubhouse and Fitness areas were extended from the exterior of the buildings into the main gathering and fitness rooms, creating a seamless sense of continuity no matter the vantage point.

Following years of close collaboration among the owner, design team, and contractor, the Sunterra North recreation center has finally opened its doors. Every detail of the buildings, from the choice of materials to the unobstructed views, has brought to life the design team's vision for this project.
