Techne Architecture and Interior Design recently completed a refurbishment of the RACV Healesville Country Club and Resort.
The revitalized venue features a revamped members’ restaurant, a new publicly accessible alfresco pavilion, and a sports bar, all set against the rolling backdrop of the Healesville countryside.
The architects reinvigorated the club and resort destination with a “sleek, modern edge”, lifting the design calibre of the dining and recreation spaces.
Techne elevated the interiors with veined marble finishes, sculptural drop pendant lights and plush furnishings. The incorporation of floor-to-ceiling windows and natural materials help integrate the scheme into its surrounds.

Project lead Steve McKeag said the project offers “a varied mix of interior and exterior design features which have combined to achieve a diverse hospitality and tourism experience.” Set against the region’s picturesque natural landscape, McKeag said Healesville Country Club and Resort redevelopment anticipates the growing desire to spend more time reconnecting with nature.
Techne designed an additional restaurant space on the first floor, enabling visitors to enjoy a pub-style meal with views over the site’s bowling green and gold course.

“The lower ground experience is more active and casual, with golf-course views and an earthy palette inspired by the surrounding wine regions,” McKeag said.
“The restaurant and bar areas on Level 2 features more intimate settings, amongst a textural palette, with nature-inspired fixtures and upholsteries, and luxurious banquette servings, plus the terrace outside.
“It was really important to ensure the refurbishment truly reflected the resort’s locational context, not just visually, but also in how the design promotes new hospitality and tourism experiences.
“The addition of the restaurant is one example. This is a space where guests can go for a unique experience of Healesville’s local produce, prepared by some of the region’s best chefs in a contemporary yet relaxed environment.”
