House Proud
November 1, 2005
The clubhouse recalls the Craftsman-style architecture of 19th-century
English country homes designed by British architect C.F.A. Voysey, according to
principal architect Bernard Wharton, a partner of Shope Reno Wharton Associates
in Greenwich, Conn. The building is clad in stucco and features handsome
stone-surround windows, copper guttering and a charcoal slate roof. Rich
reclaimed wood, restored antique doors and furnishings, and original art
decorate the interiors, which were orchestrated by Jackye Lanham and Norman
Askins of Atlanta.

Watson Room, a meeting space at Voysey’s restaurant and pub. Photography by Peter Vitale. (Click image to enlarge.) Voysey’s, a restaurant and pub in the clubhouse, features interiors designed by architects Bentel & Bentel, who recently unveiled the Modern restaurant at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. Consulting chef Tom Colicchio of Manhattan’s Gramercy Tavern and Craft (both also designed by the Bentel brothers) created the menu of high-end cuisine. The clubhouse living room and pro shop are at ground level, while a separate wing contains a spacious lounge and locker rooms. Future plans call for an adjoining sports pavilion, which will feature a family-friendly pool complex, four clay tennis courts, a squash court, an aerobics studio and a fitness center.
