Rio 2016 Winning Clubhouse Bid: "Combining an atmosphere of conviviality with nature"

Golf Australia was the only site I saw with a photo of the winning bid for the 2016 Olympic golf course clubhouse which drew interest from 82 design teams.

A large veranda showcasing the lush tropical landscape of Barra da Tijuca, combining an atmosphere of conviviality with nature — in the spirit of Rio — defines the character of the winning project in the competition to choose the design for the Rio 2016™ Olympic Games golf course’s club house, announced on Monday at the Brazilian Institute of Architects, Rio de Janeiro department (IAB-RJ).

The event was attended by the President of the Rio 2016™ Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Rio 2016™), Carlos Arthur Nuzman; the committee’s chief executive, Leonardo Gryner; the President of IAB-RJ, Sergio Magalhães; the competition’s coordinator, Claudio Taulois; and the President of the jury, Fernando Alencar.
Pedro Évora and Pedro Rivera, of Rio de Janeiro, are the author and co-author respectively of the winning project.

Gil Hanse will be designing the Olympic course.

**Thanks to reader Don for more images from the architect's website. Certainly looks like an ambitious plan, especially since it appears to overtake the putting green!
