Architecture / Master Planning

Dove Nest Motorsports Club

Dove Nest Motorsports Club2023 · Concept design / unbuilt

A motorsports destination imagined as a broader community: track activity, hospitality, dining, private garages, spectator spaces, and residences. The larger development did not advance as envisioned when project funding was not secured.

My contribution

Working with a firm partner and the client, I led the design vision, developing the master plan, architectural concept, clubhouse experience, track environment, hospitality spaces, and residential strategy.

How can a motorsports club become a lifestyle, not just a day at the track?

The clubhouse as a social center

Glazing and elevated terraces keep track activity visible from lounges, dining rooms, and event spaces. The architecture connects automotive culture with hospitality and everyday social life.

A concept interior places a sports car beside lounge seating and full-height windows.
Unbuilt concept: automotive display integrated with the lounge.

More than spectating

Dining, automotive displays, private events, outdoor terraces, and family amenities create different ways to engage. Drivers and non-drivers can share the destination while following different interests.

Rendered restaurant seating overlooks the circuit through tall glazing.
Unbuilt concept: dining with a direct connection to the track.

Ownership at the track

Track-oriented residences and private garages extend the proposal from membership into a longer-term community. The concept remains an unbuilt study in combining specialized recreation with a broader destination.
