In the heart of Birmingham, MI, the Birmingham Country Club, a cornerstone of the community since its founding in 1916, underwent a remarkable transformation. The club, known for its rich history and Tudor-style architecture, had not seen significant renovations in many years, and its facilities were beginning to show their age. The design inspiration for this project came from the existing Tudor style of the building, making it essential to integrate the new design seamlessly with the old.

Krieger Klatt was entrusted with the task of updating the club's features while preserving its historical charm. The project scope included expanding the ballroom into previously unused space, creating a new island bar within another unused area, constructing a paddle tennis warming hut and courts, and adding a new second-story pool deck. This ambitious renovation aimed to breathe new life into the club while maintaining its traditional elegance. The ballroom expansion transformed an underutilized area into a grand space for events and gatherings, enhancing the club's social offerings. The new island bar became a focal point for members, providing a stylish and modern setting for socializing. The addition of the paddle tennis warming hut and courts introduced a new recreational activity, catering to the diverse interests of the club's members. The new second-story pool deck offered a luxurious space for relaxation and leisure, with stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Throughout the three-phase project, Krieger Klatt managed to renovate most of the club, creating inviting and functional spaces that honored the club's storied past. The use of high-end materials such as stone veneer and lap siding ensured that the new additions blended seamlessly with the existing structure, preserving the club's timeless appeal. This thoughtful renovation was a testament to the enduring legacy of the Birmingham Country Club. By skillfully updating its facilities while maintaining its historical integrity, the club successfully attracted new members and reaffirmed its status as a premier destination for recreation and socializing in Birmingham
