How do you reduce the square footage of a city club by half, while maintaining the functionality of the original size? CCI recently completed the “new” Petroleum Club of Fort Worth, taking the club from two 20,000 square foot floors to a single level on the 40th floor in the downtown Carter Burgess Tower. After completely gutting the floor to create the new space, CCI selected a transitional décor to update the club from the very traditional style the club had been for the past 30 years. Now, the club’s atmosphere feels similar to that of a high-end restaurant.
The most exciting new spaces in the club include the main dining room with its arched ceiling, the bar lounge with its glowing backlit amber back bar, and a wine room surrounded by conditioned wine cabinets and adjacent cellar. An added surprise for the members was an exterior patio off the main dining room. The patio is open–air, with a glass and steel guardrail where the windows once were—40 stories above the street. A fireplace and comfortable exterior furnishings finish off the patio.
Additional club amenities include a state-of-the-art audio/visual system throughout the club, a dance floor complete with a DJ station, and a large built-in buffet that can be accessed from every dining room on the floor. These renovations demonstrate the ability of the members of this history-rich club to adapt to the times, achieve more efficient use of its space, and still provide a showcase on par with the finest city clubs in the nation.
