The project is the first component of a multi-phase program to facilitate public use and enjoyment of Yew Dell Botanical Gardens, the arboretum & themed gardens founded in 1940 by horticultural pioneer Theodore Klein.
The facility provides a collection of flexible activity spaces through the rehabilitation of a historic bank barn and the construction of a new pavilion. The simplicity of regional farm structures, specifically the Kentucky tradition of black pitch coloration on tobacco barns and fence rails, provided the point of departure for the project.
Low-tech (and economical) passive sustinable strategies are incorporated into the new facility. Roof overhangs and building orientation modulate seasonal heating & cooling. All major surrounding trees are preserved and provide shade during summer months. To avoid existing tree root zones and minimally impact water runoff, the pavilion hovers over the sloping ground plane on wood piers. The glass connector bridge between the barn & pavilion is detailed to allow the passage of cooling summer breezes. New construction utilizes dimensional lumber (in lieu of heavy timber) to promote the use of young-growth wood.
