Finns Beach Club – Complex Remodelation

1. Planning and Design: Meeting High-Performance Standards

The renovation process began with a clear focus on functionality, user experience, and high-end design. Both the toilets and kitchen needed to be designed with efficiency in mind, while still aligning with the club’s modern aesthetic. Our design and engineering teams worked closely with the club’s management to ensure the spaces would meet the highest standards of quality, hygiene, and convenience.

• Space Optimization: Given the high traffic nature of these facilities, space optimization was a key consideration. We focused on creating layouts that allow for efficient movement while ensuring privacy and comfort for users. In the kitchen, we designed a streamlined workflow that facilitates smooth operations for staff during peak times.
• Sustainability Considerations: We incorporated eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems to ensure the spaces are sustainable and aligned with the club’s commitment to reducing its environmental footprint.

2. Foundation and Structure: Building a Solid Base

The next step in the process was the structural work, where we focused on ensuring the foundation and framework were built to last and able to withstand the demands of a high-traffic commercial setting.

• Soil Testing and Foundation: For both the toilets and kitchen, we conducted extensive soil testing to assess the ground’s load-bearing capacity. Given the area’s tropical climate, it was essential to use materials that would resist moisture and ensure long-term durability. We used reinforced concrete foundations for both spaces, ensuring stability and strength for all subsequent structural elements.
• Reinforced Concrete and Steel Framework: The construction of both the kitchen and toilet areas involved a combination of reinforced concrete and steel beams. This provided the necessary strength to support the heavy equipment and fixtures in the kitchen and the high usage in the toilet facilities. The steel structure was also designed to provide flexibility and durability, essential for commercial spaces that experience constant use.

3. Plumbing and Electrical Systems: Ensuring Functionality and Efficiency

With the structural framework in place, we moved on to the essential plumbing and electrical systems for both the kitchen and toilets. These systems were critical for ensuring that the facilities would function smoothly and efficiently.

• Plumbing for Toilets: In the toilet areas, we installed high-performance plumbing systems designed to handle high volumes of usage. We used corrosion-resistant pipes and fixtures to ensure longevity, as well as water-efficient systems that reduce overall water consumption. Each stall was equipped with modern, touchless fixtures to maintain hygiene and improve user experience.
• Plumbing for Kitchen: The kitchen required an advanced plumbing setup to accommodate the needs of commercial cooking equipment, sinks, and dishwashing areas. We ensured that hot and cold water lines were well-planned to facilitate efficient cooking and cleaning. The kitchen’s drainage system was meticulously designed to handle high water flow and maintain hygienic conditions.
• Electrical Systems: Both the toilets and kitchen were fitted with modern electrical systems. In the kitchen, we installed heavy-duty wiring to support commercial-grade appliances such as ovens, stoves, refrigerators, and dishwashers. The electrical systems were designed for efficiency and safety, including dedicated circuits for each appliance. For the toilets, we focused on proper lighting, ventilation, and power systems for automated features like sensor lighting and hand dryers.

4. Finishes: Creating an Inviting and Functional Environment

The finishes were an essential part of ensuring that both the kitchen and toilet areas were visually appealing, comfortable, and aligned with the overall aesthetic of Finns Club.

• Toilet Finishes: In the toilet areas, we used high-quality, moisture-resistant materials to ensure durability and ease of maintenance. The walls were finished with premium ceramic tiles that not only add a modern touch but also enhance hygiene with their easy-to-clean surfaces. The floors were tiled with slip-resistant materials, offering safety for users. We also included modern, custom-designed vanities, mirrors, and storage areas for a sleek and functional finish.
• Kitchen Finishes: The kitchen was outfitted with top-of-the-line stainless-steel appliances, work surfaces, and cabinetry. The countertops were made from durable materials, such as granite or quartz, to withstand the demands of commercial cooking while maintaining a high-end look. The flooring in the kitchen was finished with slip-resistant tiles for safety, and the walls were painted with food-safe, washable coatings to ensure hygiene.
• Aesthetic Details: Throughout both spaces, we incorporated design elements that complemented the club’s stylish atmosphere, including modern lighting fixtures, clean lines, and an overall minimalist approach that ensures functionality without sacrificing design.

5. Interior Design: Creating a Seamless Guest Experience

The interior design of both the toilets and kitchen was essential to ensuring that the spaces offered a seamless and pleasant experience for both staff and guests.

• Toilet Interiors: We used a combination of sleek, modern fixtures and thoughtful layouts to ensure both comfort and privacy for users. The interiors feature spacious, well-lit stalls and ample counter space for personal use. We also included hand sanitizing stations and touchless soap dispensers for added convenience and hygiene.
• Kitchen Interiors: The kitchen was designed for maximum efficiency, with clearly defined workstations for food prep, cooking, and cleaning. We included ample storage solutions and streamlined workflows to support the staff during busy periods. The design also incorporated easy access to all utilities and appliances, making it easy for the team to operate smoothly.

6. Final Touches: Ensuring Long-Term Functionality and Maintenance

Once the construction and finishes were completed, we focused on ensuring that the toilets and kitchen would be easy to maintain and operate for years to come.

• Maintenance Considerations: All materials chosen were selected not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their long-term durability and ease of maintenance. The plumbing and electrical systems were designed for easy access and upkeep, reducing potential downtime or repair costs.
• Quality Control: Throughout the renovation process, we conducted rigorous quality control checks to ensure that everything from the plumbing to the finishes was up to standard. We worked closely with Finns Club management to ensure that the facilities would exceed their expectations and enhance the overall guest experience.
