Overview
Country Club Interior Design Focused on the Member Experience
Ossa Studio worked with Longview Country Club in Waxhaw, North Carolina, to reimagine a series of existing spaces while preserving the character of the club’s established architecture. The project included improvements to the clubhouse lounge, a redesigned bar and seating area, and the conversion of an existing cart barn space into a new pro shop.
Within the clubhouse, the design introduced a larger full-service bar, expanded indoor and outdoor seating, and new glazed doors and window assemblies that create separation between spaces while maintaining visual openness. Traditional millwork, wood detailing, and carefully integrated architectural elements complement the existing interiors, allowing the new work to feel connected to the club’s original character.
The result is a collection of updated member spaces that improve functionality, circulation, and the overall hospitality experience while maintaining a cohesive relationship with Longview Country Club’s existing architecture.

Project Details
Renovating Existing Member Spaces at a Waxhaw Country Club
Ossa Studio worked with Concert Golf Partners and Longview Country Club in Waxhaw, North Carolina, to renovate and reconfigure existing member spaces while keeping the traditional character of the clubhouse. The work grew between 2022 and 2023 from a single enclosure at the lounge and bar area into a redesigned clubhouse bar and seating area and a pro shop conversion in the cart barn.
Lounge Enclosure and Clubhouse Bar and Seating
The first scope separated the existing lounge seating area from the adjacent corridor with wood-framed windows, a double door and a single door with glass and sidelights. The new wood was specified to match the existing species and stain, and the hardware and glass to match the existing conditions.
The 2023 scope added a larger full-service bar and more member seating, indoors, at the bar and outdoors. Ossa Studio prepared the floor plan, equipment layout, reflected ceiling plan, lighting layout, interior elevations, finish schedule and the permit package.
A Pro Shop in the Existing Cart Barn
The existing cart barn held an office, porch, cart storage, cart wash, a toilet, storage, bag storage and a reception area. Part of it was reconfigured into a new pro shop and support area with new 10-foot framed walls, a wood door, a sliding glass window with a countertop ledge, a hand sink, base cabinets and a solid surface countertop.
The existing concrete slab was kept. Power was coordinated for new equipment, light fixtures and a new HVAC unit, and mechanical and plumbing plans were issued for construction in March 2023. A later structural study covered determining whether an existing wall was load-bearing.
