Hersham Golf Club Underground Hotel, Surrey, UK

Architects ReardonSmith are in the planning stages of this 200-plus underground resort at the site of Hersham Golf Club in Surrey. When completed, the resort will offer holiday-goers an environmentally responsible, attractive resort that doesn’t ruin the views of the surrounding Green Belt environment. The hotel rooms will look out on sunken courtyards, an innovative solution to the problem of how to provide natural light in underground buildings.
