Feature of the Month: Martini Northern completes 4,000 s/f Abenaqui Country Club expansion in Rye Beach

Martini Northern, LLC completed an addition of approximately 4,000 s/f of new space combined with intense renovation of existing space at the Abenaqui Country Club. The expanded facilities create a completely new set of dining, lounge and function spaces for the club's members and guests. The design of the addition was undertaken by DeStefano Architects of Portsmouth, N.H. and interior design by Malloy Interiors, Inc. also of Portsmouth. Much of the work was conducted throughout the harsh winter season of 2013-2014 and involved considerable structural work and excavation beneath existing space to join the new structure to the old. A new lounge, named the 1903 Room, in homage to the year the club was formally incorporated provides a 20 seat bar within a 73 seat lounge. The club's former bar now houses a new family dining area that seats 24, while the dramatically expanded function room now provides space for 250 seated guests. The new interior spaces are complemented by an expanded, awning-covered deck that seats 90, overlooking the golf course. The new portion of the building features a three-sided view of the golf course through expansive windows with all new or updated furnishings, fixtures and bathroom facilities throughout this level of the club.
