Designed by MIA Design Studio, the approximately 2,000 m² hospitality project is conceived as landscape infrastructure rather than as a standalone architectural object.
The clubhouse is formed by a series of low-rise circular volumes distributed across the site. Their overlapping green roofs reduce the visual presence of the building and allow the architecture to merge with the surrounding gardens and water. Solar panels are integrated into several roof surfaces, combining planted areas with energy production.
Communal spaces open towards the lake, while quieter wellness and contemplative areas are positioned deeper within the vegetation. The horizontal organization creates shaded transitions between inside and outside and maintains long views across the landscape.
Inside, curved ceilings, rounded structural elements and full-height glazing continue the flowing geometry of the roofscape. The open interiors remain closely connected to the lake, tropical planting and surrounding water gardens.
Passive environmental strategies are integrated into the design. Green roofs reduce solar heat gain, the low-rise arrangement supports airflow and daylight, and the water landscape contributes to evaporative cooling and biodiversity.
Lotus Clubhouse presents a model in which architecture, water and vegetation operate as one continuous environment, preserving spatial breathing room within a rapidly developing urban context.
