Clark Bowling Center

How does a space's function inspire its form?

Our design for the bowling center in SM City Clark takes inspiration from the act of bowling itself—where success depends on tossing the ball with a precise, sloping motion.

We consider each project on its own terms and develop tailored responses. Learn about our vision and mission.

The Clark Bowling Center is conceived as a geometric plane, where straight lines from the alleys intersect with oblique, indirect forms. This creates a spatial journey that draws visitors from the exterior, through the amenity spaces, and onto the lanes.

The ceiling integrates linear lighting and conceals the mechanical systems, creating an integrated servicing mesh that is both functional and visually engaging.
