Booth Hansen - Country Clubs

Founded in 1980, Booth Hansen is a nationally-recognized architecture, interior architecture, and planning firm. As a medium sized firm of thirty architects, we provide project and design leadership with experienced principal architects who are engaged and attentive to the needs of every project no matter the size. Through commercial, cultural and educational projects, as well as multi-family and single-family residences, our contribution to the built environment aims to capture the unique spirit and quality of each project. We address the functional needs of our clients while seeking a direct emotional connection with the human spirit through architecture’s timeless, poetic language.

We believe in the power of collaboration among designers, clients, stakeholders, and consultants to produce successful results and products of enduring quality. Clarity in communication leads to an equally lucid design process, in which many voices come together in a single vision. As architects, we are agents of that vision, carefully evolving it from concept to construction.

With every project, Booth Hansen looks to create beautiful places that people treasure.

S K O K I E CO U N T R Y C LU B The Skokie Country Club looked to update their facilities. The outdated pool and pool house were demolished, while a pergola remained. The new building, housing a kitchen and locker rooms, was seamlessly integrated with the existing pergola. On the opposite side of the pool, a new outdoor pavilion featuring an exterior fireplace offers a relaxing place for casual dining. Both structures were 4 66

I N D I A N H I L L CO U N T R Y C LU B DINING PAVILLION The pavilion offers unobstructed views overlooking the golf course and pool during the spring, summer, and fall seasons. The screened-in area provides walk-up service for food and beverages during the day and a wait staff in the evenings. The exterior design alludes to the architecture of the club’s existing buildings while introducing modern details. The skylight over the seating area provides light and ventilation, and in the evening becomes a “lantern” on the landscape. The pavilion includes a large kitchen, laundry room, and restrooms for diners, golfers, and pool patrons.

D U N E S C LU B CLUBHOUSE Michael Keiser, a Chicago publisher, built a nine hole golf course (in New Buffalo, Michigan) on a rolling tree covered sand dune. The course has been recognized as one of the top nine-hole courses in the country. The clubhouse provides for a small membership, relating to the landscape and connecting to the tradition of the game of golf. The clubhouse is a modest monument in the landscape that provides the minimum facilities for about 20 golfers. A terrace provides views of the course for outdoor dining served from the enclosed club room that is supported by a common locker room, 2 baths, kitchen and the world’s smallest pro shop.

S H O R E A C R E S CO U N T R Y C LU B CLUBHOUSE REBUILD AND RENOVATION In 1983, a fire razed the Shoreacres Country Club, which had been designed by David Adler. The original plans would become a starting point for rebuilding, but with extensive updates to the structure and layout to accommodate social functions and technological innovations that were unforeseen at the time of the first design. Classical proportions and an eloquent reserve will continue to distinguish the Shoreacres Country Club, now updated for contemporary needs but remaining inspired by the spirit of Adler and the “Great House� era.
