The Gathering Place is a community clubhouse in the heart of The Farm, a new master-planned community located in northeast Colorado Springs. Built on the edge of “Lake Ann” the building contains a gym with workout equipment, locker rooms, a multi-purpose community room, an outdoor swimming pool, a child watch area as well as an outdoor event area with fire pits, mood lighting, outdoor furniture and flower beds overlooking the lake and Pikes Peak.

HB&A envisioned The Gathering Place as the heart of the community, where friends and family can gather, connect, and enjoy the view. Its rustic style mimics the barn buildings previously located on the site, while large glass doors ensure constant connection between the interior functions and the idyllic surroundings. HB&A incorporated some original beams and materials from the existing barn into the design of the building.

You can see before photos of the original buildings and location here.

HB&A partnered with DHM Design and CTA Engineering on this project. — Cathy
