Dee Why RSL, on Sydney's Northern Beaches, has had a successful and exciting 2010. Opened in June, the new alfresco gaming terrace was an exercise in integrating the inside and out with ease. "Part of the design was to try and make it as seamless as possible from outside to inside." said Executive Manager of Gaming Operations Durban Arnold. "And also as comfortable as possible because it is open to the elements."
The finished producted, from Bergstrom architects, is constantly in use. The courtyard room is framed by decorative greeney and joins to the indoors with a frameless glass wall and airlock. Elegant light sculptures from Lump stand by one of the sandstone walls.
Bergstrom created a timber-panelled ceiling feature, with downlights from JSB lighting on the alfresco side and a dropped-pipe pendant from Dedece on the exisitng gaming room side, to link the two areas. The existing carpet has been extended as well. Suffice to to say, outdoor gaming at Dee Why doesn't less your chances of having a good time.
"We previously had another alfresco gaming area and the popularity of it was such that we didn't have enough machines" said Durban. "We've had a lot of positive feedback from customers."
The outdoor areas of the club are of course convenient for people who smoke, but non-smokers have taken a liking to the new area as well. "It's designed to have airflow through it, making the comfort level outside quite high," Durban continued. "Some non-smokers prefer that 'natural comfort' outside"
