Alaskan cedar and handmade Danish bricks are among the materials used by Californian firm HA+MA to create a golf performance centre set within an undulating, grassy landscape.
Nestled within a gently sloping site, the CS2 facility sits on a golf course in an undisclosed neighbourhood in central Los Angeles.

The project was designed by HA+MA, a local studio led by Eric Hawkins and Scrap Marshall.
The overall design intent was "to craft a structure that utilises and exploits its surrounding and immediate environment" while also offering a flexible interior space, the architects said.
One of the project's two volume is used for teaching and relaxation
The 2,000-square-foot (186-square-metre) building is composed of two rectangular volumes. One serves as the main structure for teaching and relaxation, while the other holds restrooms. The volumes are situated around a garden with a lone pine tree. "The building is composed around a courtyard garden, creating quiet, naturally ventilated spaces," the studio said.

The exterior consists of concrete and Alaskan cedar, along with Petersen bricks that were handmade in Denmark. The structural system comprises four steel posts and glue-laminated beams.
"All the hidden joints and connections were custom designed and fabricated by us in LA," the architects noted.
