Broadgate Leisure Club

Design/Completion 1988/1990 London. England

Rosehaugh Stanhope Developments PLC 21,520 square feet

As part of thc Broadgate development at Liverpool Street Station, the Broadgate Leisure Club provides a mix of leisure, health and sports facilities for members of the local business community. Facilities include a bar, restaurant, and swimming pool, as well as squash courts, exercise rooms and a comprehensive gymnasium.

The design focuses on the swimming pool which is located in a large, double-hcight hall adorned by a 100-foot mosaic wali designed by Howard Hodgekin. Although the club has no direct exposure to the outside, the design creates the illusion of a spacious outdoor environment.

The club is on two levels, with the reception lobby, lounge, and bar areas above, and sports areas and changing facilities below. The staircase is an extension of the public areas with landings and intermediate spaces that accommodate tables and chairs, allowing views of thc squash courts below.
