The membership of the Northern Club held a design competition by invitation in 2004 for a new structure to replace the failing Centennial extension and provide spaces for hosting multiple dinners, lectures and events.

Fearon Hay’s winning scheme was selected in February 2005 over entries from Jasmax, Architectus, & Stephenson & Turner.

The scheme proposed a series of interior spaces and courtyards lightly enclosed with glazed and screened layers to complement the ivy-covered masonry of the existing Clubhouse.
