Valley Resort Management selected AXIS to redesign and expand the Quail Lodge Golf Clubhouse’s existing spaces, while maintaining the structure’s legendary charm and character. The remodeling included updating existing amenities, as well as adding a new restaurant, banquet kitchen, patio spaces, and wellness center, within the existing structure. The challenge was to design, document, permit and complete construction in twelve months while maintaining golf operations.
On the building’s exterior, the visually heavy, cantilevered decks were grounded by the addition of creamy Carmel Valley limestone walls, creating a more inviting and pedestrian-friendly architecture. New concrete masonry structures included patios with fireplaces, retaining walls that defined spaces within the landscape architecture, and enclosures for both the golf starter’s area and service yard. The existing lower level structure of the clubhouse consisted of concrete masonry walls and columns. These were covered with a limestone veneer, adding warmth to the feel of the building.
Clubhouse interiors embrace guests with a warm, comforting aura that evokes an understated elegance. Golden-hued, end-grain hemlock wood floors, combined with boar hide and leather accents, create a rustic ambiance. Bathrooms feature hammered copper sinks, loose-hanging mirrors and simple wrought-iron sconces. Rough-sawn exposed timber and oxidized steel in a rich rust color emphasize structural elements; textural materials such as hand plastered walls and natural fir baseboards, trim and accents underscore this welcoming atmosphere.
