Garryglass Social Club Initial responce to the site was occupied by thoughts of containment and thresholds. The social club seeks to command the whole site providing relief for the surrounding dwellings. The social club takes the form of a square within a square providing a juxt poition between open space and a private garden to be shared by occupants of the dwellings on the scheme. The club is centered on the raised open space in the centre of the plan which is subdivided by maple trees which provides opportunities for individual moments within the fulcrum of the club. Initial concept models of the club demonstrate containment and threshold. The plan of the club is based both on the De Stijl movement and a grid which originates from the surrounding houses. The foundation of the ‘De Stijl’ manifesto begins “there exists an old manifesto and a new consiousness of the age. The old is directed towards the individual. The new is directed towards the universal.”Richard Pavodan of ‘Towards Universality’ suggests that De Stijl is the striving for the universal and the general as opposed to the individual and the particular.
