The Clubhouse Restaurant

 

Here is The Clubhouse Restaurant in South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa, CA owned by celebrity owners; Kevin Costner, Freddy Couples, Jack Nicklaus and Robert Wagner. This restaurant had two floors, two kitchens on each floor, several private dining rooms, two patios, two bars and a private banquette room. The entire structure was added on to the existing mall under Phase I of the project followed by the interior build out and construction of the façade in Phase II. The HVAC system incorporated a new air handler and replacement and upgrade of a chilled water plant on the roof of the mall.

 

This picture shows the exterior facade work nearing completion with 6 hours to go before the grand opening. You can see the final installation of caulking at the GFRC, landscape installation, window cleaning and demobilization.

 

 

Here is a picture of the elliptical bar stocking up for the Grand Opening. This bar after it was installed by the millwork contractor was deemed by the owner to be too high although installed per the design documents. The bar was built of Honduras Mahogany and was glued and screwed together. I designed a lift system incorporating aluminum beams, pallet jacks and metal band straps and lifted the entire bar in the air, cut 6” off the bottom and dropped it back down.

 

 

 

 

This is the Grand Stair nearing completion. This stair although built according to the design documents, was deemed by the owners as too long and encroaching the bar. Seven days previous to this picture, I brought in a Skytrack material handler and lifted this stair, cut 3’ off the intermediate landing and re-welded and installed the entire stair. The Skytrack was brought in through the doors seen in the background of the picture.
