Boilerhouse Prime Steakhouse
Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex · West Lafayette, Indiana
Overview
Boilerhouse Prime Steakhouse is a fine dining restaurant located inside the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex, a premier destination developed by White Lodging. The project brought together architecture firm KTGY and Royal American Carpets to create an interior that balances refined elegance with the durability required for high-traffic hospitality environments.
The design challenge: deliver a floor covering that reinforced the upscale steakhouse atmosphere while standing up to the constant foot traffic of a busy golf clubhouse venue.

Royal American Carpets supplied a custom Woven Axminster carpet engineered specifically for this project.

| Product | Woven Axminster |
| Construction | 80% Wool, 20% Nylon (cut pile texture) |

Why Axminster for This Project
Woven Axminster carpet was selected for Boilerhouse Prime Steakhouse to meet the performance, aesthetic, and durability demands of a high-end restaurant environment.
Woven Axminster construction offered several advantages for Boilerhouse:
Durability under traffic: Dense pile construction resists crushing and matting in high-volume dining environments.
Design flexibility: The weaving process allows for intricate patterns and precise color placement — critical for achieving the hand-carved visual effect specified by the design team.
Acoustic performance: Carpet absorbs ambient noise, improving conversation quality in a fine dining setting.
Long-term appearance retention: Axminster maintains its visual integrity over years of use, reducing replacement cycles and lifecycle cost.
Recognition
Boilerhouse Prime Steakhouse was named a finalist in the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards 2025 — recognition of the project's success in integrating design and function.
