Article source: Spaces & Design Royal Calcutta Golf Club affectionately known as the “Royal” is synonymous with the game of golf in this country. Founded in 1829, Royal is the oldest golf club outside the British Isles.
The modern bar in this vintage setting where golfers enjoy their time after their game of 18 holes is aptly called “bar at 19th”. The bar opens up physically and visually into the wonderful golf greens and the blue sky. Earlier it was in an enclosed area that was aloof of the beautiful view outside but now the materials and techniques make it unique and fun yet elegant and a signature bar for golfer’s not only in Kolkata but also in the country. The interior architecture was designed and modulated in a manner that this curve now looks symmetrical and anchored as if it was meant to be. The key to this was opening up and “restoring “the five arches back to the hundred-year-old planning of the heritage building. As they say “old is gold!” Bringing the arch proportions back helped in the aesthetics. They now open up to the outside which could be converted into an outdoor deck and form a great ambience in winters. Contact Spaces & Design
