Die Klubhuis

Die Klubhuis forms part of the third phase of the prestigious and contemporary The Club development - a mixed-use precinct located across the road from the Pretoria Country Club. The brief was focused on providing a large open floor area for the Planet Fitness Gym, Office  program and had to include basement parking in order to lighten the load on the entire precinct parking requirements.
​
The site is located at the intersection of Pinaster Avenue and 18th Street, Hazelwood Pretoria. The focus of the development was on high visibility and achievement of a prestigious and iconic design, worthy to accommodate one of the most successful developers.

One of the key factors of the design brief was to create a design language that would compliment and communicate with the existing Club Precinct structures and urban spaces, tying the entire precinct together. However, Die Klubhuis still needed to be a unique and iconic building - creating a distinct presence for Atterbury Property’s Headquarters.

A long-term lease was secured with Planet Fitness, which kick-started the development. The remainder of the bulk was allocated to commercial office space and retail - providing a well-balanced tenant mix together with surrounding Hazelwood, Brooklyn and Waterkloof residential areas.

The design had to accommodate a running track for the gym, together with a diverse tenant list and a continuous pedestrian flow with public spaces between the buildings, to complement the existing urban fabric.
