Project • By Scarlett Designs • Golf Courses
Kalhaar Blues and Greens Golf Club
The Idea
The idea for the interiors of Kalhaar Blues and Greens Golf Club stemmed from our clients' aspiration to create a first-of-its-kind, world-class sports and leisure facility. Scarlett Designs inherited a Mediterranean-inspired architectural framework laid out by North American architects Marsh and Associates. Upon visiting the site, Scarlett Designs discovered a bare shell of immense scale, distinguished by its timeless arches. This initial observation sparked the design intent to enhance and celebrate the arches, aligning with the client's vision of elegance and grandeur.

Originally intended to house a specialized book collection and serve as a communal space for small gatherings, the project took an unexpected turn during its development. It was eventually repurposed to accommodate the Alliance Française, a move that would lead to the creation of a striking architectural statement.
