At Wynn Las Vegas, the newest room with a view — greens, waterfall, desert landscaping — opens Friday.
This slice of country in the city, aka Wynn’s Cliff House Grill, is debuting above the 18th green as part of Wynn Golf Club, which sports a new two-level clubhouse designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the famed architecture firm that designed, among other projects, Lever House on Park Avenue in Manhattan, the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) in Chicago and Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, in Dubai.
The clubhouse materials — earth, wood, stone — nod to and draw from the landscape, with a strong horizontal orientation that enacts a significant presence while also complementing the setting. A defining feature is the relocation of the pro tee to the roof of the clubhouse, creating a rooftop tee-off that extends the landscape into the architecture.
“We saw an opportunity to make the architecture part of the golf course — not an object set apart from it,” said Colin Koop, design partner with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, in a Thursday announcement.
“The building is deliberately restrained and horizontal, allowing the landscape to lead. The rooftop tee makes that idea tangible, turning the building itself into part of the course.”
