Montecito, CA, 2010
LEED Gold
This facility houses the Westmont College art department, fine arts studios, museum, and general education and lecture spaces. The building was designed to fit into the sloping site between existing structures and minimize perceived building mass.
Indoor and outdoor work areas are linked by large glazed hangar doors in each classroom and art studio. Green roof terraces add vibrant outdoor gathering spaces while connecting existing circulation routes. Natural daylight and ventilation enhance the quality of the interior spaces for the production and display of the arts.
In design collaboration with David VanHoy, Architect Inc. Architect of Record: Pfeiffer Partners
