The Timber Banks Golf clubhouse lives up to its name and features heavy timber throughout the expansive building that houses a full-service restaurant & bar, pro-shop, event hall, bridal suite, and more. Designed by Homes, King, Kallquist & Associates Architects LLP, the fast-moving project was recently completed near Syracuse, New York. 

“We have worked with New Energy Works on a variety of projects and enjoy every minute of it,” said Carlton Homes & Kami Cheney of Homes, King, Kallquist & Associates Architects LLP. “This project was called Timber Banks from the get-go, so we really just followed the theme. The grand entry hall area has a stain glass ceiling, and then the wow factor of all the large timbers, fireplaces, and chandeliers. Everyone that goes there gives it high marks in terms of the aesthetics.”

This family-owned development project spans nearly 800 acres with a full 18-hole golf course, marina, and residential housing with the clubhouse serving as the focal point for all the activities the club offers to its members and the general public. Also a premiere wedding venue, Timber Banks acts as the backdrop for ceremonies and receptions year-round.

This reimagined family home is built on the foundation of a historic lakefront camp in the Hudson River Valley of New York. The camp was comprised of seven independent structures that were taken down prior to the renovation, the four new buildings on the site were built in the footprints of the original structures on the picturesque estate.

“The site is an old lake front religious camp in the Hudson Valley that was made up of a number of structures originally, which we ended up taking down and re-building over their existing footprints, which is why the buildings are shaped the way they are and why they are positioned where they are on the site,” explained Mike Maggio, Project Manager Hudson Design. “That enabled us to build as close to the lake as possible, and really capture the best views.”

Consisting of a large timber frame main house, yoga studio, boat house, and two-bedroom guest house, the one-of-a-kind property has plenty of room for friends and family to gather. Located on the very end of the lake where the water hooks around into the surrounding woodlands, the camp is a serene and private place perfect for quiet contemplation and meaningful conversations.
