The 5,860-sq.-ft. building at the club in Fort Washington, Pa., was designed by Meyer, an award-winning architecture and design firm. The structure incorporates an elegant all-glass exterior to complement the club’s original façade of local Wissahickon schist stone. Inside, the innovative solar folding-glass system doubles as an elegant backdrop for a state-of-the-art, two-story bar, which features enhanced dining and outdoor patio space overlooking the sweeping fairways below. “Meyer worked with us to seamlessly blend more than 100 years of history with a modern and innovative design that best serves our members’ needs,” says Gregory D’Alonzo, General Manager and Chief Operating Officer of Manufacturers’ Golf & Country Club.

The construction of a new bar and lounge was recently completed at Manufacturers’ Golf & Country Club in Fort Washington, Pa.

Designed in the club’s classic manor-house style, this updated space preserves the timeless character of one of the region’s most revered golf courses in a modern expansion that celebrates the club’s enduring commitment to hospitality, fellowship and charm.

“Meyer worked with us to seamlessly blend more than 100 years of history with a modern and innovative design that best serves our members’ needs,” said Gregory D’Alonzo, General Manager and Chief Operating Officer of Manufacturers’ Golf & Country Club. “Meyer’s vision, professionalism and attention to detail exceeded our expectations, and we were proud to partner with them on this incredible project.”

One of Meyer’s leaders discussed his company’s vision for the project.

“The guiding principle behind this stunning renovation was that less is more,” said Meyer Principal George Wilson, AIA, NCARB. “We wanted to design an updated gathering space that honors Manufacturer’s rich history and highlights the natural beauty of the club.”

Meyer provided comprehensive architecture and interior design services for the project and worked closely with its partners, construction manager MidAtlantic Construction, Ehret Construction Consulting & Club Advisory Services, and Engineers Kupper Engineering, Bala Engineering, and Woodrow & Associates, throughout the renovation.

In addition to the expanded bar setting, the renovation also included a new grill area, fire pits, pavers and outdoor lighting. The interior also features a new wine room with wine lockers, as well as all-new lighting, finishes and millwork surrounding freshly installed fireplaces on the building’s first floor.

The Meyer team, led by Wilson, also included Project Manager Eiman Alhassani and Architectural Designers Danielle Carter, WELL AP and Sam Turner.

Meyer, which launched a new brand identity and website earlier this month, is a nationally recognized leader with a full-service approach designed to support and empower clients throughout the project lifecycle. The firm has led a number of high-profile renovation projects from coast to coast.
