ETHR Clubhaus’s Abu Dhabi
ETHR Clubhaus | Hospitality Fit-Out & Project Management
ETHR Clubhaus is a distinctive lifestyle hospitality destination shaped around community, dining, and a calm, artful spatial experience. For this project, Exceptional PM managed the project and delivered the hospitality fit-out, executing the approved interior design across the venue. The delivery brought together bespoke finishes, carefully coordinated materials, lighting, seating, and architectural details to translate the approved design into a refined and welcoming environment.


Project Overview
Hospitality Fit-Out and project management were central to the delivery of ETHR Clubhaus, a distinctive lifestyle hospitality destination that brings together café, bakery, retail, lounge, dining, and social spaces within one integrated environment. Exceptional PM managed the project and delivered the fit-out, executing the approved interior design and coordinating the materials, finishes, lighting, furniture, and functional requirements needed to translate the approved design into a completed space.
ETHR Clubhaus was conceived as more than a conventional dining venue. Its combination of hospitality, lifestyle, retail, and social functions required the different spaces to work together while maintaining a consistent visual and spatial character. The completed environment brings together areas designed for dining, casual interaction, retail activity, café and bakery use, and relaxed lounge experiences.
The project combines warm, earthy materials with carefully controlled lighting, transparent elements, and distinctive interior details. The central kitchen and retail block uses plywood and textured glass as an important architectural feature, while surrounding spaces connect through glazing, circulation, and changes in level. The result is a layered hospitality environment that allows different functions to coexist within one cohesive setting.
From a Hospitality Interior Design perspective, the project demonstrates how materiality, lighting, transparency, spatial planning, and guest experience can work together. Exceptional PM's role was focused on delivering the approved design through coordinated execution rather than claiming authorship of the original design concept.
Scope of Work
The scope of work covered the delivery of the approved interior design through a detailed Hospitality Interior Fit-Out. The objective was to transform the approved design into a fully functioning hospitality environment while maintaining the intended relationship between materials, finishes, lighting, furniture, circulation, and operational areas.
The fit-out required coordination across multiple areas of the venue, including the café, bakery, dining areas, retail components, lounge spaces, and supporting service areas. Each area had its own functional requirements while remaining part of the same overall guest experience.
Key Scope Points
- Hospitality fit-out execution across the different functional areas of ETHR Clubhaus.
- Execution of the approved interior design and associated spatial details.
- Installation and coordination of plywood and textured-glass elements within the central kitchen and retail area.
- Coordination of wall treatments, stone, timber, flooring, glazing, and other interior finishes.
- Integration of lighting with architectural and interior elements.
- Coordination of furniture and seating within guest-facing areas.
- Coordination of material interfaces, transitions, and finishing details.
- Execution coordination between functional service areas and guest-facing spaces.
- Final fit-out coordination to achieve consistency with the approved design.
The scope demonstrates the difference between simply constructing individual elements and delivering a complete Hospitality Interior Fit-Out where architectural finishes, furniture, lighting, materials, and functional requirements need to work together.

Challenges
ETHR Clubhaus presented a number of challenges associated with delivering a detailed hospitality environment containing multiple functions and a variety of materials, finishes, lighting conditions, and spatial relationships.
The project needed to maintain the character of the approved design while also meeting the practical requirements of a working hospitality venue. This required careful coordination throughout the Hospitality Interior Fit-Out process.
Key Challenges
- Integrating café, bakery, retail, dining, and lounge functions within one environment.
- Coordinating the central kitchen and retail block with the surrounding guest-facing areas.

- Coordinating different elements of the fit-out without compromising the overall spatial character.
Solutions
Exceptional PM addressed these challenges through structured Hospitality Project Management and coordinated fit-out execution. The approach focused on maintaining communication between project requirements, site execution, materials, finishes, and the approved interior design.
Rather than treating each component independently, the delivery approach considered how the different elements would work together as one completed hospitality environment.
Project Solutions
- Coordinated the central kitchen and retail block as both a functional element and an important part of the spatial experience.
- Managed material interfaces between timber, plywood, stone, flooring, wall treatments, glazing, and textured glass.
- Coordinated lighting integration with the surrounding architectural and interior elements.
- Maintained consistency across different finish transitions and material interfaces.
