Some buildings are designed for work – think an office. Residential buildings are designed to be private places where we shelter from the outside world. Then there are public buildings designed for social leisure: for making and keeping friendships. This is what the Community Activity Center was designed for, making and keeping friends. Its simple floorplan is a rich backdrop for fond memories, made of wood, stone and steel, all ingredients in creating a warm aesthetic inspired by national park lodges. A generous multipurpose space, a music room, a restaurant and bar are built for sharing stories and laughter. The patio under a trellis is the ideal setting for sipping drinks while enjoying a Montana sunset.
