Architectural plans for the Long Beach Yacht Club’s modernization and expansion have been approved by the California Coastal Commission in a recent 10-1 vote. The state approval allows the club to move ahead with its new poolhouse and remodel of its main 21,000-square-foot clubhouse. The design by Michael Graves, headed by Architects Michael Kollin and Brian Husting, will increase the building’s total size to 41,000 square feet. The addition will include the replacement of its aging pool storage cabanas with a useable 20,000-square-foot poolhouse building complete with a new pool and deck, lobby and two multi-purpose rooms. Major renovations to the existing two-story clubhouse—built in the 1960’s—will include upgrading the dining areas, bar, lounge, kitchen, meeting rooms, library, offices, and terraces.

Thanks to the work of all project team members and consultants including project management by CREDE Group, EKA Consulting, landscape architect Graham Stanley & Associates, interior design by Rodrigo Vargas Design, MHP Inc. Structural Engineers, MEP engineers McParlane & Associates, JCA Civil Engineering, Aquatic Design Group, Lighting Design Alliance, Bowden Associates, Argento Graham - Green Building consultant, Associated Soils, and pre-construction efforts by Slater Builders. Special thanks to LBYC’s internal committee members for ensuring the programming requirements and community benefits balance the needs and serve the long-term goals of both the membership and the community.

“We’re excited to help create an inviting and efficient gathering place for club members, the boating community, and neighborhood/coastal groups,” stated Michael Kollin, Principal at Michael Graves’ LA studio. The revitalized club will provide a vibrant pathway to the water and bring a new era of excellence to this Long Beach landmark that has served the community for nearly 100 years. Construction is expected to begin by late summer 2026.

Final touches on our rebranding efforts in our LA studio! Thanks to the teamwork of our design and support staff (Brian Husting and Maddie Edwards), our once plain gray wall now pops with the bright white 3D Michael Graves logo art. It was a bit of a process to hang but the stencil made it much easier (thanks Lenny!)

Great to meet and hang out with hospitality and gaming industry professionals at the BITAC Casino Resorts conference in Phoenix. Extra bonus with the event being held at the elegant Arizona Biltmore, a hotel built on the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural style. (Notice the cool design details?)

The 2+ day event is focused on relationship-building and learning more about innovative gaming and lodging products and services that can enhance the guest experience. Congrats to Team 3 – winners of the “Great PB&J Challenge” who assembled 848 meals for those in need. Special thanks to BITAC’s Rich Viola, Emily Melgar, J.
