The Boat Club

Located in Duluth’s Historic Fitgers Inn, The Boat Club Restaurant is situated on the shores of Lake Superior. The new owners requested a design aesthetic that took the existing space from a Mediterranean design to one that showcased the beauty of the lake.

Small Changes Create Impact

A small, but impactful architectural change was done by shifting the front entrance from an obscure walkway, to a stunning grand entry where you absorb the Great Lake the moment you walk into the space.

Cohesive Harmony

Nautical design elements include a color palette of navy, cream and gray, ship lap. The porcelain flooring in the bar is reminiscent of worn wood decking. Existing “I -beams” were exposed and the bar was refinished giving it a new life. Overall, the design compliments the setting and creates a cohesive harmony between the indoors and the outdoors.
