Golden & Associates to build clubhouse for Russell Lands

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 18, 2006- Late last month, Golden & Associates Construction was awarded a $5.2 million contract to build a new 15,000 sq. ft. clubhouse and recreational area for The Ridge at Lake Martin, Russell Lands’ newest and largest residential development. The project is slated to begin next week with plans to be complete in summer 2007. Atlanta’s Chapman Coyle Chapman & Associates is the architecture firm for the project. This is Golden & Associates Construction’s first project for Russell Lands.

The clubhouse design has a craftsman style with rustic mountain influence. The building will have a fitness room, meeting room, kitchen and restrooms, and a see-through stone fireplace separating the great room from the gallery. Interior architectural details include 24 ft. high vaulted ceilings, mahogany and cedar paneling, and custom millwork and trim.  The building’s stone exterior will feature custom tapered columns and a wrap-around porch on three sides. The project will also include: two pools connected by a 5-tier waterfall, two tennis courts, a pavilion with an event lawn area, and other outdoor amenities. A concrete and stone pathway will connect the outdoor areas to the clubhouse.
