The concept of "club house" is defined. The specifics of club houses in cities in comparison with large cities are shown. The functional program of club houses is determined, which makes it possible to distinguish them as a separate morphological type of residential buildings, including five principal urban planning functions. The basic rules of the club-house architecture language are formulated, and the architectural techniques and solutions that allow their residents to unambiguously interpret the building as a club house are presented. The urban planning solutions of clubhouse locations in the structure of a large city are analyzed. The city of Penza is used as an example to show the logic for estimating the potential volumes of club-house construction in a large urban district. It is noted that the development of club houses is part of the gentrification process, reflects the transformation of housing comfort and urban living environment axiology, and points to demand for an advanced urban policy of housing construction in society.
