Country Club of Orlando, a 50,000 square-foot Mizner inspired clubhouse is now home to one of the oldest country clubs in Florida, which began its rich history in 1911. CCI re-created the original Spanish-Mediterranean style of the building with a rich stucco finish, cast stone trim, and custom roofing tile.
Distinguishing features of the club include the forty-four foot high octagon Entry Hall with an oversized window framing a striking view of the lake and golf course. Overlooking the double height Reception Lounge is an upper balcony with a hand-rubbed iron balustrade finished to give an aged bronze appearance. The ceiling features a double-tiered wood chandelier and large wood beams supported by carved brackets. Arched windows with multiple glass doors allow access to a large stone terrace complete with fountain and panoramic views of the adjacent lake and golf course. The twenty-foot tall Grand Ballroom is highlighted by five beaded crystal chandeliers and twenty-three wall sconces finished in antique gold
In the year 2000, Club Management Magazine chose Country Club of Orlando as the winner of the DESIGN SHOWCASE, in the Category of “Total Clubhouse, New Construction”
