Naples, Fla., (October 24, 2024) — Peacock + Lewis Architects and Planners, a leading firm renowned for its expertise in private club planning, architecture, and interior design, has been awarded the prestigious 2024 Sand Dollar Award for Commercial Interior Design of the Year – Remodel Project (greater than $1,000,000) for its stunning renovation of the lower level at The Club at The Strand.

Presented by the Collier Building Industry Association (CBIA) Sales and Marketing Council, the Sand Dollar Awards represent the pinnacle of recognition in Collier County for excellence in building, design, and marketing. The coveted award is a testament to Peacock + Lewis’ innovative approach, which transformed an underutilized space into a vibrant social hub for club members.

“The Club’s leadership recognized the untapped potential of its lower level, which had been largely overlooked for years,” said Ken Hart, Managing Director of Peacock + Lewis’ Naples office. “Our team was tasked with completely reimagining the space, and we delivered a dynamic, multifunctional area that enhances the overall club experience, especially for golfers.”

The centerpiece of the renovation is the transformation of the locker room and storage area into a contemporary social venue. The new Tavern 59, named in honor of the club’s record-breaking course score, features an open-concept bar, dining space, two new innovative golf simulators, and a private dining room, all offering an ideal post-round gathering spot. This reimagined area provides members with a luxurious, yet welcoming space to unwind, socialize, and enjoy state-of-the-art amenities.

Elvis Gooden, COO at The Club at The Strand, praised the project’s immediate success: “Tavern 59 has quickly become a favorite among our members. Its sleek design and inviting atmosphere are perfect for casual gatherings, post-game celebrations, and special events. The renovation has not only revitalized our lower level but has elevated the entire club experience, strengthening our community spirit.”
