WENTWORTH BY THE SEA - COUNTRY CLUB

MS Architects was retained by the Wentworth Country Club to assist in the renovation and expansion of their

existing clubhouse's dining and grille room. The goal of the project was to transform the existing underutilized

dining area into an amenity which would provide the Club's membership with a more informal and intimate

dining experience and encourage greater member use.

The existing dining area was reworked and expanded to provide a variety of seating options and configurations.

Flexibility was the key to be able to accommodate a variety of Club activities throughout the year.

Mahogany wainscoting and millwork along with two new gas fireplaces were added to create a cozy ambience

to the room. French doors designed to slide away into pockets within the walls allow select dining areas to be

segregated for smaller group functions. Bay windows create niches within the space to host

small dining parties comfortably. Leather and decorative floral patterned fabrics adorn the

T

chair and banquette seating

conveying an overall sense of

casual elegance and warmth to

the space.

According to the Club's General

Manager, Bob Diodati, there has

been a significant increase in

revenues due to the increase in

usage by the Club's membership

since the dining and grille room

was renovated.

Interesting Facts: Working within the original footprint of the building and the need to tie in all of the new features into the existing mechanical systems. It was also necessary to match the previous woodwork with new wainscoting and trim.
