Overview
Pine Lake Country Club: A New Arrival Experience in Mint Hill, NC
Ossa Studio led the renovation of Pine Lake Country Club's two-level cart barn and pro shop, giving a tired utilitarian building a character worthy of the club's arrival experience. Working within the existing footprint, we removed the aging wood structure and rebuilt the walls and a new 4:12 gable roof over the original masonry knee walls, preserving what worked while reimagining the rest.
The upper level houses a 1,600 SF pro shop, while the 4,020 SF lower level was reorganized for golf cart storage with new electric charging stations, upgraded lighting, and improved ventilation. The exterior draws on classic clubhouse vernacular: painted fiber cement siding, simulated divided lite windows, a decorative cupola, a shingled canopy over the cart entry, and louvers with Bahama-style shutters, all finished in a palette of Augusta Green and warm white.
Our work spanned existing-conditions documentation and 3D modeling, building code analysis under the North Carolina Existing Building Code, pricing documents, and permit and construction drawings, in close coordination with the club, Barringer Construction, Suther Engineering, and Wilde Engineering.

Project Details
Existing Cart Barn and Pro Shop at Pine Lake Country Club
The existing building has two levels on a sloped site: a wood-framed pro shop above and an unconditioned cart barn below, 5,620 SF in total. The pro shop covers 1,600 SF and the lower level 4,020 SF. The original concrete masonry knee walls and the asphalt floor of the cart barn were kept, some masonry columns were grouted solid, and a failing corner of the wall was rebuilt.
New Gable Roof and Exterior Finishes in Mint Hill
The aging wood structure was removed and replaced with new wood-framed walls and a 4:12 gable roof over the existing masonry knee walls. The roof has 30-year architectural shingles, and a shingled canopy covers the cart entry. The exterior uses painted fiber cement siding and trim, simulated divided lite windows, aluminum louvers with decorative Bahama-style shutters, a decorative cupola and a new sectional garage door. The paint palette is Augusta Green and warm white.
Cart Barn Charging, Lighting and Ventilation
The lower level is a golf cart parking area for club employees only, with no public access. The electrical scope added electric golf cart charging stations on dedicated circuits and replaced all existing lighting in the work area with new LED strip fixtures and emergency lighting with battery backup. A sidewall exhaust fan rated at 3,100 CFM provides mechanical ventilation. The pro shop above is classified as mercantile occupancy.
Building Code Analysis and Architecture Services in Mint Hill
Ossa Studio measured the building, built an existing conditions 3D model and prepared the building code analysis under the 2018 North Carolina Existing Building Code, with the project classified as an Alteration Level III. We attended the preliminary review meeting with Mecklenburg County and issued a pricing package and permit drawings, coordinating with Barringer Construction, Suther Engineering and Wilde Engineering.
