The Briar Club
Houston, Texas
The Briar Club is a private family club that offers social, dining, athletic and recreational facilities to approximately 1,100 members. Under Phase 1 of a facility capital improvement plan, Kirksey Architects commissioned ATI to provide MEP design services for an 18,000-sf, 2-story fitness center and locker room addition.
Amenities for the fitness center include weight training and aerobics rooms, locker/shower areas, spas and steam rooms, massage/treatment rooms, juice bar and pro shop, exterior verandas, and basketball court pavilion. The project features energy-efficient air-conditioning systems that reduce energy cost by using heat-reclaim technology to pre-condition outside air. For this project, ATI worked closely with Kirksey to maximize the fitness area by designing efficient, yet serviceable, mechanical and electrical rooms.
