Yountville Town Center
(# 26) |
|
|
|
| After years of planning, the completed Yountville Town Center weaves new and existing buildings and outdoor rooms into a place designed to enrich community life right on main street in the middle of town. The new Community Center building, housing a branch library, program spaces and a large multi-use room, opens onto a new Town Square framed on either side by the existing Community Hall and Post Office. Building exteriors blend with the rural character, while inside the spaces are light and airy. The large multi-use room is a pleasant surprise, daylit by a ridge skylight and supported by unique wood and cable trusses. Through collaboration, the design integrates a range of green features – passive design, efficient technologies and green materials – setting the project up for LEED Platinum and energy savings of 44% over Title 24. Since opening, the town center has become a hub of activity. By design and location, it serves as the town’s living room and a great source of civic pride. |
