The 55 Lounge & Grille are cornerstones of the iconic Brookhaven Country Club, located in one of Dallas’s most beloved neighborhoods. Originally built in the 1950s, Brookhaven’s Mid-Century Modern clubhouse is a masterclass in architectural charm—a true gem that inspires admiration from design enthusiasts (including us at Thiel & Team, proud architecture and interior design aficionados).
Thiel & Team was honored to reimagine the 55 Lounge & Grille, crafting spaces that celebrate the club’s rich history and its warm, family-centric culture. Our design approach embraced the authentic beauty of Mid-Century Modern (MCM) design, emphasizing its signature details, clean forms, and vibrant pops of color. We worked to return the spaces to their architectural roots while enhancing them for modern functionality and enjoyment.
Key design elements include sculptural ceiling features that command attention, custom murals that pay homage to the era and the club’s legacy, and style-appropriate furnishings that strike a perfect balance between nostalgic charm and contemporary comfort. Every detail—from textures and materials to lighting and layout—was chosen to create an elevated, destination-worthy experience for members.
The reimagined spaces invite members to connect, celebrate, and relax in a setting that is both timeless and inspiring. From family gatherings to casual evenings at the grille, the new 55 Lounge & Grille are designed to foster unforgettable moments and lasting memories for generations to come.
For hospitality developers looking for an architect and interior designer who understands how to honor legacy while delivering fresh, functional, and beautiful spaces, Thiel & Team offers a proven track record of bringing iconic destinations to life. With a deep understanding of hospitality design and a passion for creating spaces that resonate with communities, we are ready to elevate your next project into a place your guests will never forget.
