San Diego Yacht Club

orchid
As part of San Diego Yacht Club’s lease renewal with the Port of San Diego, construction for the improvements to the club facilities is now completed. The existing locker buildings, pool heads, junior clubhouse, maintenance building and dry storage areas north of the main clubhouse were demolished and replaced with new, state-of-the-art structures including associated site work, public artwork, and an ADA gangway. Since the team wishes to pursue LEED-NC Silver Certification, charettes have been held to review the LEED certification scorecard. Some of the proposed sustainability measures are: Building materials such as concrete, masonry and cement board were selected for their environmental sensitivity, longevity and ease of maintenance. Wood products were proposed in selected areas because of their renewability as a natural resource with acknowledgement given to over-harvesting of certain species. Solar water heating system services showers, restrooms, laundry and solar pool heating panels as well as provisions for future photovoltaic panels for on-site generation of electricity. Design incorporates natural ventilation and daylighting strategies as well as high-efficiency heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting systems for energy savings. Low-flow plumbing fixtures for water savings.

A beautiful timber building with a design inspired by the history and prestige of the San Diego yachting scene. The expansion houses several youth facilities as well as a treasure trove of historical artifacts tied to the club as well as to San Diego's rich sailing past. The second level of the expansion serves its membership well. Users get access to gym and locker spaces that offer near 360 degree views of the dock with downtown out to the distance. A lengthy system of skylights run along the peak of the roof, providing ample daylighting to almost every second floor space. The attention to detail is impeccable. Connections are beautifully celebrated. The expansion truly becomes a beautiful and worthwhile benefit for becoming a member of the club.
