The project is the Xinghui World Golf Club in Beijing, totaling approximately 3,200 sqm. Positioned as an "elite gathering venue in a contemporary context," the design merges the professionalism of golf with a refined lifestyle, catering to a high-end clientele seeking quality social and sporting experiences.
Flowing curved geometries permeate the space—from the metal-sheened curved reception desk to the circular ceiling cove lighting and artistic pendants, all conveying a sense of dynamic movement. Within this modern vocabulary, dark timber walls provide the grounding tonal anchor, forming a rational warm-cool and light-heavy counterpoint with metal and marble. The public areas are clad in Albert Oak M1186-1, whose deep brown tone and rhythmically varied grain create a visual cadence. Practice rooms employ Orla Oak M1136-2, with pure, profound brown and clear straight grain extending seamlessly alongside grey acoustic soft-panels, satisfying sound requirements while replacing mechanical austerity with natural texture.
The dual-finish dark oak panel system, delivered on ML and MD substrates, wraps reception, practice and public zone walls. The layered wood grain—its glaze-like luster reading as silken movement under spotlights—imbues the space with dimensional breath. Natural knots and vertical joints introduce an elemental force, extending from public to athletic spaces as a unified, depth-rich visual thread that resolves the fusion of sporting spirit and modern lifestyle.
The specification centers on two dark oak finishes: M1186-1 Albert Oak on the ML Series (ML1) substrate and M1136-2 Orla Oak on the MD Series (MD1) substrate, both deployed across functional zone wall systems.
Albert Oak presents a rich, deep-brown tone with a glaze-like surface where the grain pulses with organic vitality; rhythmically varied lines form a natural visual axis. Applied extensively in reception and public areas, it reads under spotlight as silken flow—quiet as rosewood in shadow, warming to caramel highlights—adding layered depth. Orla Oak offers a pure, profound brown evoking settled earth; its clear, forceful straight grain transitions from deep brown to warm tan, cladding practice room walls while integrating seamlessly with grey acoustic panels for both function and natural expression.
Both dark oak finishes deliver dimensional stability and finish durability across 3,200 sqm of mixed social and athletic use. The timber walls temper the sharpness of metal and the chill of marble, using understated grain to host light and shadow—supporting the club's composite demands for luxury texture, tranquil atmosphere and long-term operational maintenance.
