As a designer with over 20 years of experience, I partner with clients, architects, and consultants to bring hospitality-driven multifamily environments from concept through completion. My team work on clubhouse prototyping centers on creating cohesive, scalable amenity environments that balance strong brand identity with operational efficiency across portfolios.
Through fully coordinated, multi-trade drawing sets, standardized floor plans, and repeatable design elements, I assisted with development of comprehensive finish, specification, and furniture packages that allow clubhouse concepts to be implemented consistently across multiple properties. From FF&E selections to detailed layouts and documentation, I help bring clarity, precision, and design intent to every phase—ensuring each prototype feels distinctive while remaining easy to execute and replicate.

Prototyping: Clubhouses
Integrated design and coordination of multifamily clubhouses, encompassing leasing, coworking, conferencing, social gathering, lounging, mailroom, and fitness functions. This resulted in refined and fully coordinated standardized templates for both medium and large clubhouse architecture and interior design. Large clubhouses included a large dome ”pod” element and a reduced half dome “pod” element were developed for the smaller scale of the medium clubhouse. Comprehensive finish, lighting, and plumbing specification packages were developed and tailored to the specific context and location of each property.

Prototyping: Large Clubhouse | Dome
Development of the dome “pod” to fit within the lobby space as a stand-alone element, intended for flexible coworking and semi-private meeting space, included working closely with the manufacturer to provide a barrier free design within and around the dome. The placement is coordinated within the space to accommodate lighting fixtures and provide power for coworking needs. FF&E elements were then standardized with consideration of accessibility and to support flexible meeting and coworking needs.

Prototyping: Medium Clubhouse | Modified Dome
Medium clubhouse prototypes retain the robust programming and spatial organization of the large clubhouses, reinterpreted at a more intimate scale. The signature dome “pod” was adapted for the medium lobby through a reduced footprint and and angled form to meet height clearances. Suspended, lighted ceiling “drums” create a more intimate atmosphere within the dome and ad.jacent nook, while preserving the openness of the space
