Shots Factory is the only indoor golf studio in the Sai Wan / Kennedy area in Hong Kong. Housing three simulators, two in private rooms equipped with high speed swing cameras, and one in an extra wide bay designed for both right and left handed players, it welcomes seasoned golfers as well as never-swung a club folks. The name of the business was the inspiration for an industrial feel, with fair-faced concrete walls with industrial graphics. The built-in furniture - benches, projection screen frames, golf club shelves, the closets, all facilitate the ergonomics of the club swings, ensuring a comfortable golfing experience.
The project's site is located in an office tower with exposed ceilings. Yet, given the many pipes, the FCUs, and the beams it was quite a challenge to propose the most efficient layout that would also ensure comfortable golfing experience.
The guest arrives at the lobby lounge from which they can immediately witness the action in the first open room that uses a Trackman golf system. A nice bar with stools allows visitors and guests to relax, enjoy a TV show or have a drink. Past the reception desk there is a narrow corridor with golf club storage, which then splits into two private rooms, each using a Uneekor Eye Xo golf system. One of the private rooms further benefits from the open views of Victoria Harbor and the ICC landmark tower in Hong Kong. The main room has a screen facing the windows because right behind the screen there is an AC box housing the most advanced AC system, ensuring a comfortable climate at a press of a button.
The minimalist material palette allows the user to focus on honing their golf skills. At the same time, the large room is also a venue for private events and KOL sessions, taking advantage of the last projection screens and neutral setting.
The ceiling at the lobby lounge area welcomes the guests with custom made LED light strip which extends throughout the entire project ceiling.
Built-in furniture houses the golfing equipment as well as the mini-bar, ensuring a comfortable time while watching the golfing sessions live or on the TV.
The graphics is hand painted on the fair-faced concrete walls, enabling the guests to operate without a receptionist. Given the high-technology lock system, there is no need to have a staff on site at any time, which saves the operation costs by a significant margin.
In addition to all the custom-made furniture, the site is also full of small gadgets that were fabricated, such as toilet boxes, the 3D-printed hands for the golf glove display, key chains for the private storage etc.
