CHIPPENHAM GOLF CLUB
Chippenham golf club commissioned a scheme for a new sustainable club house. The existing club house had been constructed cheaply in the 1960’s was in poor condition and was ready for replacement.
The site was steeply sloping and the proposed building was to be dug into the slope to allow direct access to the greens from the first floor reception rooms and long views across the site. The semi-buried nature of the scheme, along with and its heavy structure, ensured passive thermal storage in the buildings mass, aiding both cooling and heating in combination with geo-thermal air intakes and stack effect ventilation.
