The Shellharbour Club
Shellharbour, Illawarra, NSW
The Shellharbour Club upgrade delivers a bold and contemporary transformation across key areas, including the southern façade, main entry, VIP gaming lounge, amenities, smokers’ terrace, and snooker room. This comprehensive refurbishment is designed to elevate the club’s appeal and functionality, creating inviting spaces that resonate with both members and visitors.
Located in the Illawarra region, an area renowned for its rich steel manufacturing history, the design thoughtfully draws inspiration from this industrial heritage. Prominent use of materials such as corten steel and raw concrete not only provides a rugged, authentic texture but also pays homage to the local landscape and culture. Patterned glass details introduce a refined contrast, adding visual interest and a sense of sophistication to the overall design.
Further enhancing the aesthetic, elements like Colorbond sheeting, glass bricks, and burnished metal finishes are carefully integrated to weave a consistent design narrative. These materials work harmoniously to create a modern yet timeless environment, one that honors the region’s industrial roots while offering a fresh, inviting atmosphere for socializing and entertainment.
This upgrade reflects a sensitive balance between contemporary architecture and cultural storytelling, positioning Shellharbour Club as a vibrant hub for the community well into the future.
