Phase I construction involves a new 18,735 s.f. OVERVIEW: The project is the first expansion for the Filson Historical Society on its current site located within ‘Old Louisville’, a historic neighborhood first developed between 1883-1887 in conjunction with the Southern Exposition. STATUS: Completed March 2017 (October 2016 Soft Opening) Despite a modest construction budget, the project strives for a high degree of detailing and craft, and embraces an ethos of ‘innovation necessarily equals economy’.īUILDING AREA: 30,000 s.f. The project resonates at a range of scales that frame opportunities for discovery and delight – from the scale of the landscape to the scale of the visitor – through the deliberate juxtaposition of simplicity and complexity expressed in the building form and articulation of details. Comprised of ordinary limestone sill modules (in smooth and rock-face finishes), a herringbone pattern evokes the patterns and hand laid stonework of the ‘ha-ha’ walls and split-rail fences that organize and define the property. Core service functions (storage and restrooms) are contained within limestone-clad volumes that create a visually porous edge to an entry plaza and vehicle drop-off area. Profiled glulam beams are infilled with decorative secondary framing to create a coffered ceiling that recalls the sinewy texture of the black locust tree bark – a prevalent species growing throughout the grounds and the property’s namesake. Careful positioning of the pavilion minimizes its visual impact in the landscape and maintains important view sheds.ĭrawing on a key feature of the Georgian farmhouse, the pavilion form evokes the idea of a large-scale porch. Access to the pavilion is multi-directional and site-specific, reinforcing a porous threshold from the west (from the vehicular approach) and forming a broad open canopy to the east (from the gardens). Sited on existing flat topography among a cluster of interpretive buildings and formal gardens, the new pavilion takes advantage of an overlapping system of public amenities and resources, including a shared catering kitchen and service yard from the adjacent visitor center. The design approach takes inspiration from the property’s collection of historic buildings and site features – most notably the predominant material palette of stone and timber. The site is characterized by a rolling landscape of woods, open fields, and formal plantings. The property operates as a historic interpretive site on the remaining William Croghan estate that consists of a Georgian mansion and outbuildings built by enslaved African Americans, emphasizing the legacy of George Rogers Clark – Revolutionary War Hero and the founder of Louisville – who lived at the property.
