The Arc is Clubhouse facility and a Landscape masterplan for a perimeter condition of a polo practice field and equestrian training facility. Developed around the Japanese principle of Shakkei where the architectural or landscape project borrows the landscape outside of its reach to compose spaces. The Arc is a horse shoe masterplan composed of a string of sites; the stables, the courtyard, the foreground gardens, the New Contemporary Clubhouse, and the BBQ Deck area which frames landscape like contemporary sculpture, all borrowing vistas from the polo field.
