About Manuscript Society House
The club building is one of the most interesting problems an architect can encounter, and opportunities to design them are becoming increasingly rare. Most flourishing clubs today are really second cousins to hotels or restaurants, but the design of an authentic private club provides an opportunity to study a sequence of several spaces and to work out their relationships with each other purely in terms of the effect they will have upon the observer. This building is in New Haven. Connecticut, designed by Professor King-Lui Wu of the Yale School of Art and Architecture, is modest in scale; but it achieves its effects in the true club tradition. The building becomes a private world, a secure retreat, in which every element has its own importance, and its scale has been carefully controlled.

Professor Wu has used the narrow urban site to good advantage, hiding his building behind tall garden walls and a blank facade rendered more mysterious with an intaglio mural by Josef Albers. The garden, designed by landscape architect.
