The Dormy Clubhouse, Gleneagles

The Dormy Clubhouse was one of the earliest projects we undertook with interior designers Macaulay Sinclair for the world-famous Gleneagles. The complete refurbishment of the clubhouse restaurant and retail area set out to evoke nostalgia, looking back to the 1920s and the era of the legendary golfer Abe Mitchell, when Gleneagles and its golfing heritage were born.

The designers drew on Gleneagles' railway station and its carriage seating for the banquettes and painted arched panelling, and on classical retail arcades, with rows of moulded timber doors that open during the day to serve golfers.

The lighting keeps that vintage feel, with brass finishes and an old-school sensibility. In the dining area, a mix of pendants, globe wall lights and task lights with robust metal shades casts just the right amount of downward light. The table lamps have a living finish that will patina over time, so they age with the interior, exactly as the brief intended.

Mallorca has a long list of golf clubs and clubhouses, as well as restaurants that want a sense of history. Lighting chosen for its finish, its period character and the way it ages is where we can help.
