Northland Country Club

Duluth, Minnesota
SourceGroup's management took on the challenge of demolishing and completely rebuilding Northland Country Club's clubhouse. The club's objectives included adding amenities that would allow the club to serve the growing membership's needs, incorporate new banquet and kitchen facilities that make significant contributions to the club's bottom line, and to not compromise the Neoclassical architecture the clubhouse was known for since its 1899 inception.

The new kitchen and banquet facilities were doubled in size and designed to have multiple bar areas to enhance service. The ballroom accommodates up to 300 guests. It is exceptional for silent auction fundraisers, meetings, seminars, weddings, anniversaries, or any special occasions.

The "members only" second floor has a private bar and three private dining rooms with capacities ranging from two to 150 people.

Pizza Lucé

Duluth, Minnesota
Occupying the street level of the Technology Village, Pizza Lucé has become a popular destination for breakfast, business lunches, fun and lively dinners, as well as a great place to catch a beer or cocktail after work.

SourceGroup worked with restaurant management to design a unique space that would differentiate it from other similar offerings in town as well as incorporate specialized pollution control units that would address the gaseous and particulate emissions that adjacent building owner's and upper floor office tenants voiced concern over.

Pizza Lucé remains one of downtown's go-to lunch destinations for professionals and a hip happy hour or evening cocktail place to catch local music three evenings a week.
