The Clubhouse designed for the yacht club received
the Boston Society of Architects Director's Citation for Collaborative Design.
This citation is a particularly fitting recognition of the hard work and long hours spent by the club's building committee. Club members Elizabeth Hardin, interior designer, and Buddy Barnes of Wildwood Landscape Contracting, Ltd. also provided their services to the club for this project. The members who donated materials to complete this project, who attended fundraising socials to pay for special items, and who spent their free time painting, building furniture, and watering the plants should feel proud that their efforts are acknowledged and appreciated beyond the general club membership. Congratulations to all!
The design of the building was tailored to the needs of a club with a limited budget. With large and small, formal and informal functions, flexibility was the name of the game. The clubhouse features two main rooms; one with a bar and kitchen, the other larger with high ceilings. These are separated by a long central gallery open to the outdoors. Custom garage doors in each function room can be opened to create one large gathering space.
