Addison, Illinois
In the heart of Addison, Illinois, the Oak Meadows golf course stands as a testament to environmental preservation, inclusivity, and breathtaking beauty. Set against the lush backdrop of DuPage County, this course embodies the harmony between recreation and conservation. It was with this same sense of balance and respect for nature that the clubhouse was reimagined, becoming an oasis that seamlessly blends history, modernity, and sustainability.

Once an elegant Tudor-style mansion, the Oak Meadows clubhouse experienced a remarkable metamorphosis after being struck by lightning. The DuPage County Forest Preserve seized the opportunity to create a space that pays homage to the area’s history while embracing forward-thinking design principles. The vision? An 18,000 square-foot sanctuary that would mirror the natural splendor surrounding it.
The new clubhouse design prioritized sweeping windows that offer panoramic views of the Preserve, ensuring that nature’s beauty remained an integral part of the experience. The structure harmoniously incorporates elements like native plants, stone, and wood, both inside and out. The result is a space that invites the outdoors in, creating an environment where visitors can connect with nature effortlessly.
At the heart of the clubhouse’s transformation lies Accoya, a high-performance wood that’s not only visually pleasing but also aligned with the ethos of environmental sustainability. This exceptional material was chosen for its adaptability and remarkable properties. Utilizing pioneering acetylation technology, Accoya undergoes a transformative process that affects its entire cross-section, rather than just the surface. This modification imbues the wood with qualities such as moisture resistance, reduced swelling and shrinking, and unparalleled dimensional stability.
The journey towards realizing the new clubhouse was not without its challenges. Architectural handoffs and the continued activity of the golf course posed logistical complexities. The outbreak of Covid-19 further compounded the situation by causing supply chain disruptions across the industry. However, the reliability and steady supply of Accoya remained steadfast, a testament to its durability and the dependability of the team behind it.

As the clubhouse serves as a hub of community, education, and recreation, it is a lasting reminder that when nature and design collaborate, the results are nothing short of extraordinary.
