The South Carolina Yacht Club is a three story steel framed structure of approximately 13,000 square feet. The project is located on the fresh water at Windmill Harbor, separated from, and connected to, the salt water by a lock system.
The yacht club houses a bar & grill, dining room, meeting rooms, offices, restrooms, kitchens and support facilities for junior sailing programs. The focal point of the building is the cupola which can be seen from everywhere in the marina. The dining room and bar & grill open out onto spacious elevated terraces which provide dramatic views of the marina below.
