DMA completed a 10 year Master Plan for this prestigious Vancouver club. This involved gathering comprehensive input from 5000 members re what they wanted in their club for the next ten years. We then had to synthesize this often contradictory or conflicting set of objectives into a package that 90 percent of the membership eventually approved. The final Master Plan involved adding 40,000 square feet to an already crowded site, with 23 fewer parking stalls. This then had to be approved by a Vancouver Council that had already declared the Club to be built to maximum. Once the City approved the Master Plan as designed, our firm then designed and built several renovations and additions based on this Master Plan. The new addition shown here housed the Club administration offices, a licensed day care, art and crafts room, yoga/martial arts room, music school, and a large multipurpose room with a sprung floor which could be use for performances and private parties.
