The Fountain House Farm Lodge is the main gathering space and center of the mental wellness program at High Point Farm. Existing agricultural buildings provided inspiration and sparked a dialogue between our contemporary design and the natural world. Located in a sparse pine grove, the Lodge is organized by community use with a small community center, building support space, and a large gathering hall to the west. Approaching from the exterior, the sequence of spaces takes members from the land, through an entry threshold, and finally into a voluminous gathering hall with views facing back to the land and up to the sky. The structure of the dining hall space is tented and fitted with a wall-sized window, infusing the space with natural afternoon light and views of the pond.
