The focus of this community center campus is the central courtyard with its large oaks. Three lofty entrances into the courtyard invite visitors to the various functions within the village – each portal acting as a threshold to this large green space.
• The west entry serves the restaurant/multi-purpose structure, café, loft area, conservatory and treehouse. The treehouse overlooks the grounds and amphitheater which adds to the playful design.
• The north entry serves the welcome center, fitness center, yoga studio and lap pool, as well as access to the quarters of Hub, the resident golden retriever.
• The east entry serves as a drop-off area for kids/families entering the recreation pool.
The separation of functions allows for independent yet visually connected activities to occur within the village. The village design concept allows for more energy-efficient controls, versus that of a single, large building. Wood from local forests and regional limestone create a warm, modest and inviting park-like character. The amenity village serves 2,200 homes in the community.
