PTW Architects provided the architectural and interior design for the upgrade of the prestigious Caracal shooting club in Abu Dhabi, which offers a 10 and 25m simulation range for target pistol and laser shooting on international competition standards.
A viewing gallery for visitors over-looking the main shooting range is linked to a lavish lounge area and generous amenities.
The underlying concept of the curved shaped walls and the building form derives from the pistol shape defining the Caracal brand, and the visitor experiences the changing of the space as he proceeds through the staged security zones of the club.
The use of metallic finishes and reflective surfaces make reference to materials associated with shooting. Atmospheric lighting accentuates the luxurious leather fabric finishes and warm dark timber tones selected for the members’ lounge, emphasising the elegance and sophistication of this state of the art facility.
