KNOLLWOOD COUNTRY CLUB BY ARCHITECTURE INCORPORATED

Established in 1894, Knollwood Country Club is one of the oldest golf clubs in the USGA. The design challenge was to bring a century-old building up to modern standards while respecting its rich traditional heritage. The main level renovations include a new bar that blends the traditional wood detailing with new modern finishes, including a window wall that opens to an outside bar. The main dining room was transformed into a bright and vibrant space with nostalgic wall graphics and full-height booths. New light fixtures and furniture create an elegant aesthetic. A major highlight of the renovation is the new multi-level outdoor stone patio and covered dining areas comprising multiple fire pits, ceiling fans, and casual seating. A low wall surrounding the patio is covered in cultured stone to perfectly match the exterior stone walls of the club—making a seamless expansion of the outdoor amenities.
