Close collaboration with the club’s interior design team has resulted in restful, relaxing colour schemes to create “truly stunning” changing rooms


three-quarter and half-height Maximizer style lockers in a walnut finish were incorpo- rated, to transform the storage and hanging space available within individual lockers. “Te new light cream upholstery for the


bench seating, complemented by the new stone surfaces for the vanity and towel units, have all helped create what are now truly stunning changing rooms.” A creative rethink of the available space


proved the key to ensuring that members enjoy their privacy, particularly in the wom- en’s changing room, where Craſtsman have achieved discrete areas to effectively create three changing areas in one. Te challenge was to complete the refur-


bishment without closing the changing rooms, working predominantly overnight. Tis complex month-long project called

electricians and Craſtsman’s own installa- tion team, all working through the night to limit disruption for members. Sited in a prime residential area, the club


had to ensure noise levels were tightly con- trolled, while cleaning operators moved on site early each morning to ready the club for opening at 6am. “Many of our members own their compa-

is oſten a queue waiting to enter the club in the morning, so it was vital to have the club ready for them aſter each night’s work.” Refurbishing changing rooms from floor


to ceiling presented a huge challenge,” Chaffey continues, “particularly for a club of Hogarth’s standing, where member expec- tations run so high. In the ladies changing room, we worked back, virtually to first fix, ready for fitting new plasterboarding – while reconfiguring the locker layout to create the space to change in comfort and privacy.” In what was a “tricky and fragmented


project” that required extensive planning and preparation to succeed, the teams “all worked together to minimise aggravation to our members”, Chaffey stresses. John Gibbs adds: “Tis was a great


example of co-ordinated teamwork com- mitted to realise the club’s vision in meeting the Hogarth’s members’ ever-ris- ing expectations.”
